ATIA Chicago 2009

The last week in October several of our employees flew to Chicago for ATIA's assistive technology conference.

When: October 29-31

Where: Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center, Schaumburg (Chicago), IL

The Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) is a non-profit organization that’s mission is "to serve as the collective voice of the assistive technology industry so that the best products and services are delivered to people with disabilities." For this reason, their shows have exhibitors demonstrating all sorts of assistive technologies, not just those dealing with blindness.

Overall the show was a great success. In our booth we had an Elite and Emprint embosser on display, as well as one of our desktop units. We also had drawings to give away a Tiger stuffed animal and an AGC as a part of our social media promotions.

At the show we had a chance to meet with several of our distributors and speak with many teachers and school districts interested in our products. There was also an opportunity for us to give a presentation about bringing IVEO and Daisy Books together and to demonstrate a potential new pen input device that would allow for IVEO to be easily portable. Daisy Books are unique digital audio books that allow the user to easily navigate pages. Combining IVEO with this technology would allow for tactile graphics to be added to Daisy Books, creating a more interactive experience.

This was ATIA's first year ever doing a show in Chicago. We had a great time and are planning on attending their Chicago show again next year. ATIA's next event is ATIA Orlando on January 28-30. Hope to see you there!

ATIA 2009: Make It A Double

We recently attended the 2009 ATIA conference at the Caribe Royal All Suites Hotel and Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The Accessible Technology Industry Association's goal is to serve as the collective voice of the assistive technology industry so that the best products and services are delivered to people with disabilities. ViewPlus was a proud sponsor and delighted to assist in working toward a common goal. This year we featured the new Elite and Premier braille embossers with our "Make It A Double" campaign and party. These embossers produce perfectly spaced interpoint (double-sided) braille on one page and are great for high-volume production style jobs. To find out more about this product line visit theViewPlus products webpage.

Not only did we show the new Elite and Premier embossers, we made our first public appearance with our new sleek and appealing logo. We have a different look, but still the same great products to go along with it! Overall, ATIA was a huge success and we look forward to attending next year!
