We are thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, a NAD Conference event will be streamed live online! Wednesday’s plenary session with Dr. Ronald Stern will be available for the world to view with live captioning on the NAD website.

As current superintendent of the New Mexico School for the Deaf and president of the Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools and Programs for the Deaf, Dr. Stern will share the vision and plans for the Child First campaign during the plenary session. The Child First campaign is an initiative led by Dr. Stern and the CEASD in partnership with NAD, to prioritize quality education for all deaf and hard of hearing children.

Please keep in mind that as this is the first time NAD is streaming a live event online, you may experience some difficulties. We will strive to make this experiment as pleasant a viewing experience as possible!

Starting at 3:45 pm on Wednesday, July 4 you can view the livestream at: http://www.nad.org/louisville/livestream, which will continue until 5:15 pm. 

For folks in Louisville, Dr. Stern will be presenting in the Kentucky International Convention Center Cascade Ballroom AB, which is just to the left of the registration booth. The Exhibit Hall will be open and you will be able to stop by and see exhibits before and after Dr. Stern's plenary session! 

Our deepest gratitude goes to Google, a Vision Sponsor of the NAD Conference, iDeafNews, an Advocacy Sponsor, and NTID/RIT, one of our Diversity Sponsors, for pooling their resources to make this live stream possible.

We'll see you online, and at the Conference!
