We are excited to continue to provide you with networking, learning and sharing opportunities in 2019. Here are just a few highlights:
Learn from more than 350 Pre-Conference Seminars and Education Sessions that allow you to discover best practices, the latest research, tips for implementation and more from experts in the assistive technology field. Share your own examples of success in Smackdowns. Have a difficult case study? Bring it with you and tap into the knowledge of the group to come up with answers. Participate in highly interactive Town Hall Meetings between panelists and attendees on innovations, current trends and hot topics in AT. View the latest advances in assistive technology in the Exhibit Hall and visit with leaders in the field. Visit the Product Demo Center for demonstrations of the latest AT tools.

ATIA Maker Day 2.0 is FREE and will take place on Saturday, February 2 from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. in the Exhibit Hall, located behind the 900 aisle.
ATIA Maker Day 2.0 provides the opportunity to explore exciting innovations developed by AT makers and to learn from the AT maker community. From low-tech solutions to modified technology solutions, there is a wide range of inventions that have solved challenges in Assistive Technology, made by a community of makers with the goal to help others! ATIA are bringing those solutions to you.
The maker community is comprised of people – high school STEM and robotics students, hobbyists and DIY electronics enthusiasts – who are interested in using their skills to create and make solutions for people with disabilities. These are not always experts in AT, but they have a myriad of interests and just simply like to solve problems and make things.

• Explore Solutions from AT Makers – Maker groups from around the country will demo their AT solutions and products. Check out the many exciting AT inventions at ATIA Maker Day.
• Participate in Hands-On Maker Training – Learn the maker skills in trainings taking place at ATIA Maker Day.
• Bring Your Challenges to AT Makers – Come discuss your challenges with AT makers and leverage the knowledge and skills of those makers to potentially create solutions. Hear their experiences and insights on challenges they have faced and worked to solve.
