SIG-11 Members:

Your assistance is solicited to identify AT vendors, manufacturers, and developers!

Every year SIG-11 hosts the Developers Forum at the annual RESNA conference. This evening event allows product developers, researchers, and manufacturers to get together with clinicians, RESNA attendees, and end users to discuss new technology, provide feedback on existing technology, and formulate ideas for new products. The Forum focuses on products in the areas of computer software/hardware, augmentative communication, and environmental control. It is an excellent opportunity for clinicians, engineers, and consumers who recommend, prescribe, or use this type of assistive technology to provide input into the development process.

The RESNA conference committee has tentatively scheduled this years Developers Forum for Thursday, June 25, 2009 from 5:00 to 8:00pm at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel.

Manufacturers and developers will be invited to bring their products to demonstrate during this time. The atmosphere is informal and similar to a mini exhibit hall.

Since this is a short event, it would be an excellent opportunity for small companies to experience RESNA and show their products, without a lot of extra hassle or expense.

Space is limited, last year eight companies and organizations exhibited.

If you know of ANY potential participants in your area, please have them contact me or send me their name, phone number and/or email to me. I will follow up to see if they would be interested in participating. Also, don't limit your ideas to the traditional AT companies.

Thanks,

Mark
