Free New York Public Library Technology Conference - Virtual

Join us on Saturday, October 21–Sunday, October 22 at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (or virtually via Zoom) for The New York Public Library’s first Accessible Technology Conference—a free and inclusive conference focused on the impact, affordances, and evolution of accessible technologies used by Blind, low-vision, and print-disabled people. Register here to attend in person; register here to attend via Zoom.

We launched this conference to discuss technology in our daily lives and imagine a more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive future for accessible technology. The sessions will focus on maker/DIY culture, human and intersectional factors in adopting accessible technology, new-to-market and affordable technologies, and hands-on learning.

The conference is open to all community members and is free to presenters and participants alike. Our conference team commits to a fully accessible conference, including providing accessible conference materials, an accessible venue, ASL, CART, and other access needs.
