DATI's Annual Conference - Another Success Story!
This year's conference was held at the Sheraton in Dover on September 25. It attracted approximately 300 attendees, 34 exhibitors, and 26 presenters. It is worth noting that, once again, most of the presenters were from Delaware. Local consumers are indeed fortunate to have so many wonderful resources available close to home.
Frequent responses to the question, "What did you like most about the conference?" were:
- exhibitor display
- convenience
- variety of subjects
- networking
- consumer participation (as presenters)
- demos as part of the presentation
- knowledgeable & informative presenters
- short lecture versus all day workshops
- having options to workshop selection
- quality of professionalism.
Attendees would like DATI to address AT evaluation & training, assessment methods, AT for the elderly, and more on computer access and alternative funding at future conferences. They would also like to have vendor demonstrations and presentations.
These comments will help us plan for DATI's next conference to be held at John M. Clayton Hall in Newark, Delaware in November 1997.
