Here is my annual post on the most widely-attended assistive tech events that take place throughout the year. Since the year is still young, complete information may not be available for every
event. If you can augment this list with your own information, feel free to contribute via the accessible contact form on the blog homepage. also, if you plan to attend an event as a speaker or
vendor, let me know and I’ll include your details along with the event. Don’t forget to provide your booth number, if you have one.
Finally, this is by no means an exhaustive list, so if I’ve missed one that you think I should include, let me know.
