The Karten Network is a network of IT centres for disabled people. The centres are funded through the Ian Karten Charitable Trust, with the purpose of improving the quality of life and independence of adult people with congenital or acquired physical, cognitive, sensory, learning disabilities or mental health problems. The Karten Centres provide a supportive learning environment together with access to the latest in adaptive computer technology, and are located in a wide range of host organisations.

Karten Network Conference 2011

This year we have great pleasure in returning to QAC for our 2011 conference on Tuesday 25th October. The theme is Creativity through Technology (link to programme). 2 recent centres with a creative focus will be sharing their successes, and we also have the always popular Karten Awards for Innovation, Success in Transition, and Personal Achievement. In memory of Ian, there is also a special award for Volunteer of the Year. The workshops look very exciting this year – check out the programme for details. And of course, a number of suppliers will be joining us for the exhibition, focussed on assistive technologies. Want to join us? Attendance is free to those associated with the Karten Network and Trust, but everyone else is welcome at a nominal charge of £25, which includes lunch. Just email Ceri at ceri@karten-network.org.uk
