[Accessibility] GIS and accessibility virtual networking event: Wednesday 17th November

[Jessica Cahill]

Dear all,

Following a positive reaction to my suggestion of a virtual meetup around GIS and accessibility, we've put this into the TechSharePro schedule for Wednesday 17th November 2021 at 18:30 -19:30 GMT.

This is for anyone involved or interested in things like:


  *   Accessible mapping - ensuring mapping and GIS tools can be used by disabled people
  *   Accessible maps - challenges of making inherently visual interfaces accessible to people with visual impairments. What do we really use maps for? Are disabled people getting this information?
  *   Mapping accessibility - using GIS to support real world accessibility, eg indoor navigation, mapping accessible venues.

This will be a short and informal networking session. If it goes well we can look at having expanded sessions in future with more formal presentations etc. I will be in touch nearer the time with more details.

Please invite anyone in your networks who may be interested and feel free to repost.

To attend you'll need to sign up for TechSharePro<https://abilitynet.org.uk/techsharepro-2021> but as we'd love you to come, you can apply the discount code TSP21AN_VIP for a free ticket.

I really hope you can make it and look forward to seeing you there.
