About Techshare

What is Techshare?

Techshare is a series of pan-disability assistive technology events, hosted by RNIB, which aim to develop this exciting and innovative field to support end users.

Assistive technology can be defined as any item, equipment, product or service which increases, maintains or improves functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.

Techshare conferences are supported by partners who work with us to develop and deliver the conference, providing a valuable contribution to, and steer on, the content of the event.
