Getting In Touch with Literacy Conference 2027

The 2027 conference takes place at Hilton Long Beach in Long Beach, California.

The stated audience includes individuals who are blind or visually impaired, as well as teachers and instructors in the field.

It is most useful for teachers of students with visual impairments, braille instructors and related specialists, since the program is built around literacy instruction for blind and low-vision learners with workshops, a pre-conference session and field trips. The sponsor list includes Humanware, Aloha Braille, Touch Graphics and Blazie Technologies, which suggests a solid pool of assistive technology and braille product makers to meet, while general educators outside vision services will find little applicable content.

Educators at special education and rehabilitation conferences usually wear business casual or smart casual, with comfortable shoes for workshops and field trips. Long Beach in December is mild, so a light jacket for evenings is enough.
