HI All,
This is a reminder that we will close the proposal by COB Tomorrow-Friday so
that we can submit it on time. We still need some help with speakers
As Dr. Shabbir states--We also need some speakers (at least 2) for the session
from different regions and stakeholder groups. So if you think yourself suitable
please send your name, organization affiliation, country of residence, lived
experience of disability (if any), brief topic relating to below session title,
and a brief para explaining your title and its relevance to the session title.
We request that you either add it to the Google doc in the suggestion mode or
send this information at: info at igf-dcad.org to us before 26 April. The link to
the Google doc is here,
