Review ATF, 8 November 2019

An overview of the world market for Assistive Technology in the field of communication. The current trends and outlooks – what do we expect the market to look like in ten years time?

You know better than that! Knowledge management is a challenge. There are many ways to share knowledge with employees and customers. But will they remember it? Studies show that after six months only 20% or less of what has been learned is still available. How can we make knowledge availa-ble in the long-term and why is this a key to success?

Looking at the history of mankind from a technical point of view, the possibilities for people with so-called impairments are promising. And the view into the future is even better. The panel will discuss which groundbreaking service and business models by SMEs are needed at a time when the big tech players such as Apple, Microsoft or Google are increasingly developing content for people with handicaps. Finally, we would like to explore what the profile of a future expert in the field of consulting and provision of Assistive Technologies will look like – compare to AT experts 20 years ago?

How can we promote understanding of the life-changing benefits of Assistive Technology within our society? By working in collaboration with publishers, manufacturers, value-added-resellers, AT professionals, Disability Assessors and supporting organisations we will explore how to raise the profile and knowledge of AT.  BATA has been active at a national level since 2010, and Antony will share the lessons learned and explore how this could be applied more widely.

Our world is spinning faster and faster! Our thinking becomes more and more networked and global! How do you deal with it? What does this mean for your entrepreneurial and personal suc-cess? What role does the human being play behind digitalization? Experience live what is really necessary to successfully master even extreme changes in life and why in the end an analogue  process decides about your successful handling of digitisation.
