I'm guessing just the volunteers and users. Since this is a chat organized by
volunteers and there has been no commitment of time from Bookshare, it is
probably not possible for staff to attend this session. I am certain staff
will have plenty of opportunities over the summer to speak with users and/or
volunteers at conventions.
