Dear  ,
We look forward to welcoming all of you to the 31st Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference.
With the conference just about a week away, this will be the last email to alert you to important information and update you on several events.  I’ve tried to make this brief but, there is so much happening this year I’ve prepared one last newsletter<http://csunconference.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=33b760a1d53231c7ab745257e&id=23289ceed2&e=4561bd0bf7> for you to review before you arrive in San Diego.
But since this is my next to last chance to email you about the 2016 CSUN Conference, I’m going to take this opportunity to provide you with some quick facts.
