LetsGoExpo.com to Provide ICCHP Webcast

The 10th Annual International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs (ICCHP) announced today that it has entered into a webcast partnership with LetsGoExpo for the July 12-14, 2006 conference held in Linz Austria. The webcast will be free to attendees thanks to LetsGoExpo’s support of the event. Keynote sessions will be video webcast, (archives of video presentations will be captioned) with other sessions being webcast with live audio and visual media.

Since its beginning, the ICCHP has offered an international platform for visionary researchers and practitioners in “e-Inclusion.” ICCHP’06 once again assembles experts from around the world to exchange ideas, discuss common approaches and develop interdisciplinary programs to contribute to present and future challenges. The conference will explore Information & Communication Technology (ICT) and Assistive Technology (AT) for people with disabilities, the aging population, and with learning difficulties. “We’re thrilled with our relationship with LetsGoExpo, and the ability to share our conference proceedings worldwide. The live webcasts as well as recorded archives make the conference both a global event and an ongoing resource for those interested in accessibility,” states Klaus Miesenberger, chair of the conference.

“LetsGoExpo was created to allow organizers of “on-location” conferences to expand their reach to the online visitor, or to be a feature-rich venue for online meetings or events,” said Dr. Lou Lipschultz, CEO of LetsGoExpo’s parent, OcuSource.com. “We couldn’t think of a better venue to showcase the strengths of our online conferencing service than the ICCHP’s conference on accessible computing,” Lipschultz stated.

General Sessions will be webcast live and can be accessed through links at the LetsGoExpo’s Event Calendar page (http://letsgoexpo.com/index.cfm?p=2) or at the ICCHP website (www.icchp.org). The accompanying slide presentations, transcriptions, and support documents will also be available. Archives of the webcasts will be made available following the meeting at www.letsgoexpo.com under the same Event Calendar, and then following the links to the ICCHP
