February and March 2014 will witness two important events in the Accessibility and Assistive Technology space. Here is a quick note about Techshare India 2014 (External link) and 29th Annual International Technology & Persons with Disabilities Conference by CSUN (External link) where my colleagues and I from PayPal will actively participate in.

About Techshare India
The disability sector is rapidly evolving in India. It is time for the governments, corporate sector, education institutes and NGO to think of how to innovate and adapt to meet the needs of people with disabilities and how society needs to evolve so as to create an inclusive environment.
BarrierBreak brings Techshare India 2014 in partnership with National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP)(External Website) and Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB)(External Website), UK.
Techshare India 2014 to be held on 13th – 14th February, 2014 at New Delhi is a conference and exhibition discussing accessibility and assistive technology at a national level with international participation.
The 4th edition of Techshare India has a lot to prove post the success of 2008, 2010 and 2012. Just like these previous editions, we continue our aim of creating an inclusive society that does not discriminate against people with disabilities. Techshare India 2014 will focus on implementation of existing and new technologies and will work towards closing the gap that exists today.
