Highlights from 2025

The energy at Tech Blitz 2025 reflected something fundamental: assistive technology isn’t just about devices—it’s about creating pathways to education, employment, and full participation in community life. For individuals who are blind, DeafBlind, or have low vision, these innovations provide advance access, independence and connection.

Throughout the day, attendees explored an impressive range of solutions that address real daily challenges. Advanced tactile interfaces and refreshable braille displays that can expand access to digital workplaces and vast libraries of information. Smart home technologies offering options for greater autonomy in daily living through thoughtful design. Navigation tools and mobility aids that present new approaches to independent travel, and specialized communication devices that remove barriers to interaction. The event reinforced the value of bringing technology developers and users together in a shared space focused on access and usability.
