Fwd: IMAGES '96 Technology Conference (fwd)

[John F. Elmer]

Hi,

One of my students received this notice in his e-mail and forwarded it to 
me.  Looked like it was worth sharing.  Potentially interesting, though 
the notice is lacking in some specific information.  If more postings 
come through on this, I'll share with group.  Anyone else know anything 
about this?

John

                                         A conference open to EVERYONE!

.. . . . . . how do you know that IMAGES '96 Technology Conference would be
right for you? 

IMAGES '96  Technology Conference (formerly the Pacific Northwest Technology
Conference), is the Fourth annual conference sponsored by WTAC - Washington
Technological Access Center - a company, working to create the vision of
accessing community through technology and human potential.  

IMAGES '96 Technology Conference will be held in Seattle from April 24th -
April 27th at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.  Leaders from
Technology, Business and Employment Opportunities, Research & Developmental,
Educational, Community and Health Fields will be there for presentations and
hands-on learning experiences. There will be a cross section of people at the
conference because the speakers we have lined up will attract the people in
these fields of expertise. It will also attract the people who are curious
about these other areas. Special opportunities will be given for people to
gather at the exhibits that reflect the presentations.

The exhibiters and presenters for IMAGES '96 will encompass a wide variety of
resource providers (see attached page).  This is a conference that inspires
those from all sectors of life to participate. The key to our success is the
caring, feeling, emotional people it attracts, who are committed to community
and growth in the larger sense.  A significant proportion of them are
involved in bringing the latest innovative technologies and creatively
adapting them to unique individuals' needs.
