++ Only 3 weeks to go...

We have already had more people register for this year's conference than
ever before, currently from 22 countries, promising a truly rich mix of
people to network with. If you've not already registered - what are you
waiting for?

The next conference date has not been set, but is likely to be 2 years
away, so can you afford to wait?

++ Books on Tactile Graphics

In keeping with the spirit of the conference, The Swedish Braille
Authority, The Swedish Library of Talking Books and Braille (TPB), are
kindly providing 2 books on tactile graphics for conference
participants:

- Tactile Maps: guidelines for the production of maps for the visually
impaired (2003) by Yvonne Eriksson, Gunnar Jansson and Monica Strucel.
- A guide to the production of tactile graphics on swellpaper (1995) by
Yvonne
Eriksson and Monica Strucel.

Every conference presenter, exhibitor and delegate is able to have a
copy of each book (printed in English) for a small charge to cover the
cost of postage.

Further details are in the proceedings which delegates will be given on
arrival.

++ Invitation to Open Meetings

At the end of the conference we are hosting two meetings which are open
to all conference participants. These meetings are designed to encourage
a co-ordinated and collaborative approach to work conducted in the
field, and to reduce duplication of effort.

- Open Meeting A: International Cartographic Association - Commission on
Maps and Graphics for Blind and Partially Sighted People. Chaired by
Jonathan Rowell

- Open Meeting B: Standards, good practice, and a future research agenda
for tactile graphics and maps. Chaired by Dr. Sarah Morley Wilkins

Birmingham will be joining us for the evening reception on Thursday 1
December, to welcome all delegates, presenters and exhibitors (whether
