Techshare India
Techshare is an international conference on accessibility and is being organized for almost a decade now by The Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) UK. Techshare India 2008 was organized for the 1st time in India in February 2008 at New Delhi. The conference and exhibition explored the entire gamut of technology working for the disabled and succeeded in breaking barriers between the government, the corporate, the NGOs and the product and service providers on one hand and the disabled sixty million Indians on the other.
