Dear colleagues, It's just one week to go until Techshare 2005, RNIB's international technology event where professionals get together who are interested in technology and role it plays in learning, work and society for people with sight problems. There are just a few places left for the exciting half-day pre-conference workshops on 16 November in Birmingham. The workshops give delegates a chance to get to grips in more detail with Basic or Advanced Web Accessibility, Adobe PDF Accessibility, DAISY book creation or the revolutionary Apple VoiceOver. We are particularly delighted to have Mike Shebanek from Apple US co-presenting the Apple VoiceOver workshop. Don't miss this chance to have hands-on training on this screen reader built into the operating system and get the first in-depth look at VoiceOver in the UK since it's launch! There are still some places left for the conference itself on 17-18 November at Jurys Inn, Birmingham. As well as a packed programme of presentations over the two days, there are three keynote speakers and an interactive panel session, which gives delegates the opportunity to question representatives of leading access technology developers, manufacturers and suppliers on the future of access technology. Look at the full programme and book your place online before 14 November! www.rnib.org.uk/techshare [log in to unmask] Tel: 0121 665 4230 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- Dr. Sarah Morley Wilkins Director, RNIB National Centre for Tactile Diagrams, 58-72 John Bright Street, Birmingham, B1 1BN.
