The biggest showcase of the latest assistive and adaptive technology for blind and partially sighted people in Northern Ireland is back bigger than ever.
Connecting blind and partially sighted people and their friends and family with products, services and tech solutions to help maintain and increase confidence and independence.
We also welcome professionals working with individuals with sight loss, and those in management hoping to ensure their companies are prepared for blind or partially sighted applicants, and to support any employees who may experience sight loss.
