Tactile Reading & Graphics is a recurring international conference. It brings together over 500 participants worldwide that contribute to making information accessible through tactile solutions. In addition to braille, this also involves tactile graphics, drawings and 3D. During three days, the conference will feature a varied program about all aspects of tactile reading.

The event is about sharing knowledge, ideas and experiences from practical work, innovation and research. The contributors will bring new knowledge and inspiration to the participants in their professional work and promote further development of new understanding within the field of tactile reading.
