She is<br>
looking for presenters who can speak on tech and diversity. From her<br>
email:<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
I have one speaker confirmed who will talk about using eSight<br>
technology and how it's transformed her life as a blind person, and<br>
her own role in designing it.<br>
<br>
Looking for at least 2 more speakers on tech and diversity, tech in<br>
culture/our lives, or digital literacy/access. Even if you have a<br>
topic you'd be interested in hearing about that would help me in<br>
finding people by providing a direction to reach out to. But virtual<br>
intros would really help.<br>
<br>
Speakers have 10 minutes plus Q&A time. Let me know if you have more<br>
questions. I can find contact info if I have people suggestions. :)<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
If you have a good topic to present or know somebody who would, you<br>
can forward contact information to her: june at <a href="http://hivewr.ca" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">hivewr.ca</a> . You could<br>
also contact me and I will forward info.<br>
<br>
I think she is looking for responses ASAP because the event is coming<br>
up soon.<br>
