Yes, Thomas Westin of PinInteractive (Terraformers) will be there as well, although he won't be talking about games for the blind, but instead about how game accessibility can help you create *new* forms of entertainment (with examples of brainwave-games and more). AudioGames.net/Accessibiltiy Foundation is the only one to specifically promote and inform people about games for the blind, but all of us will be there to promote game accessibility in general.
