National Association of the Deaf in partnership with Microsoft India invites you to the Empowering for Inclusion Summit, organised on 15th and 16th February, 2019 in New Delhi. Technology, as we are aware, is the greatest enabler for persons with disabilities. Assistive technologies such as screen-readers, braille displays as also mainstream technologies such as smartphones, Windows 10 and Office 365 offer several possibilities to persons with disabilities to reduce or overcome barriers encountered by them. In more recent times, emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Machine Learnings etc., when applied for people with disabilities, tremendously help plug existing gaps and substantially improve scope for independent living. It is to deliberate on the existing challenges and opportunities in creating, promoting and disseminating accessible and appropriate technology solutions for people with disabilities that we invite you to join us for the Summit. Please find attached the agenda and concept note for the programme.
