Registration is now open for the inaugural Making AT for All Conference and Expo happening September 29, 2018! The Fair will bring together 200+ individuals from across the nation to develop innovative skills and create devices that maximize independence and participation for persons with disabilities.

Come to learn from AT maker-movement leaders and get hands-on (while earning CEUs). The Fair will provide the methods, materials, and know-how needed to efficiently create everyday solutions. This is a novel just-in-time approach to acquiring AT for use at school, home, work, and play.

The day will feature a Make AT Cafe makerspace, an AT Invention Contest, maker workshops, an exhibition hall of vendors/program booths and keynotes from Bill Binko, founder of ATMakers.org and Therese Willkomm, Ph.D., Director of ATinNH!
