Description of CE Program/Activity
 The Braille Conference in Toronto gathered clients, braille transcribers, educators and staff to discuss the latest advances in literacy. In Quebec, TechnoVision+ was the largest trade show in the country dedicated to adapted technology and services for people living with sight loss. Attendees and exhibitors included participants, educators, healthcare professionals, technology vendors and community organizations. Today, we're thrilled to announce that we've combined these regional events to bring you a bigger, better and more inclusive conference that will help us boost participation in the world of work, unleash the power of technology, and drive achievement and equality. About Connecting the Dots -This two-day conference will provide opportunities for attendees to:learn more about current trends and innovations in the sight loss community at thought-provoking panel discussions; network with industry experts and connect with other like-minded professionals; experience the latest technological advancements in braille and assistive technologies; and, gain practical experience from industry experts to help with career advancement.
