TDI hosted the awards recognizing note-worthy individuals and organizations for their tremendous contribution to the DHH community.
For the rest of the three days, there were breakout sessions and community forums discussing the issues and improvements in technology accessibility, relay services, and tele-world. The Biennial Conference hosted speakers representing various parts of the industry sector and government as well.
TDI greatly appreciated its conference sponsors for their continued support in shaping an accessible world. TDI’s Biennial Conference would not be possible without the support of these partners.
