Feel Curious. About the program
We are pleased to announce that there is a lot of interest in performing at the Tactile Reading and Graphics Conference. We are currently working on a richly filled program with more than 200 (!) representatives. The speakers represent more than 25 different countries from all continents of the world. During this unique conference we serve you an attractive mix of practice and science.
The versatile and balanced program consists of oral presentations, a physical show & tell market, interactive workshops, valuable networking activities and interesting exhibitors. And, of course, we also offer plenty of space for informal meetings, good coffee and great food.
All meetings contribute to the themes:
- Braille & literacy
- Tactile graphics and 3D (printed) objects
- Arts, Leisure time and Games
- Innovative Technology
- Education
- MDVI
The program committee is currently working hard to put together the program with all speakers. Therefore, keep an eye on this page regularly for new announcements and for updates of the conference program.
See you soon!
Keynotes confirmed
'Science and practice in touch' by Prof. Astrid Kappers and Dr. Ans Withagen


You are probably familiar with optical illusions like the famous duck/rabbit image or black and white lines that appear to spin on paper. But did you know that the sense of touch is also subject to illusions?
Prof. Astrid Kappers has been researching this for years, resulting in fascinating examples that will stay with you. But what does such haptic research mean for practical applications? Dr. Ans Withagen, with her extensive experience working with visually impaired children and research on the sense of touch, has a wealth of examples to bridge this gap.
‘The future of Braille. Research findings and challenges for teaching practice' by Prof. Dr Markus Lang

During the Tactile Reading Conference, Prof. Dr Markus Lang will share the main findings of this research project, including the meaning and relevance of Braille, usage patterns and reading skills. Together, we will focus on the challenges for practice:
- What role do assistive technologies play?
- What are the needs of dual media users?
- What are the essential requirements for learning to read and write Braille?
- And how can we implement them effectively?
We invite you to think about these questions and discover together how we can bring braille education and usage to the next level.
Further keynote speakers will be announced in March 2025.
