Supporting Deaf People online conference

[Judith Mole]

Hi Polly,

The conferences are indeed international. We usually have delegates 
from around 20 countries from 5 continents. There is usually a mix of 
deaf and hearing people.

The medium of the conference is text, although there may be some 
presentations on signed on video (with transcript) or Powerpoint 
presentation (with speaker notes). The conference language is English.

Hope this helps and hope you can join us at the conference.  Please 
get back to me if you need more information.
