Techshare India

Techshare is an international conference on accessibility and is being organized for almost a decade now by The Royal National Institute of Blind People (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.

Techshare India 2008 - A Milestone

BarrierBreak Technologies had the unique distinction of bringing Techshare to India by organizing the international conference and exhibition in New Delhi, in February 2008. Though it was the first such conference to be held in India the response was overwhelming from its sponsors, partners, delegates, and visitors.

Techshare India 2008 was inaugurated by Dr. (Smt.) Veena Chhotray, Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and shared her perspective on the pertinence of an event like Techshare India 2008. The platform was effectively used to discuss the availability and use of technologies to enable people with disabilities. In addition, Techshare India also highlighted the importance of implementing accessibility standards and complying with different accessibility laws

The organizers ensured that everyone who walks in to the exhibition walks out with an experience regarding the challenges faced by people with disabilities and the potential of technology in helping them overcome these challenges and lead an independent life.

In response to the continued demand for organizing Techshare all over India, we organized Techshare India in Bangalore and Mumbai as road shows.
