Hi everyone!? We are inviting companies with technology that helps blind people navigate (GPS, apps to help with street-crossing, Accessible Pedestrian Signals, Electronic Travel Aids, etc.) to apply for a one-hour spot at the SOMA pre-conference Tech Saturday at our O&M conference in Huntsville, Alabama on October 27, 2024.? We are expecting about 100 O&M specialists to be participating that day.

We are looking for sessions that?

  • have learning objectives that our O&M participants can apply to their instruction (other than learning about the features of your product);
  • have at least one presenter who is a blind user and one who is an O&M specialist (these presenters can join by zoom)
  • are hands-on (there are traffic signals and sidewalks within a 5-10-minute walk from the hotel).

The deadline for the call for papers for the Tech is Saturday, April 13.? Please use the form at

Information about the conference and program are at - meanwhile, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.? Thanks!
