Recently, I had the opportunity to attend two incredible events that shed light on the dynamic world of adaptive sports and assistive technology.
First up was the Wheelchair Basketball Championships held at the Henrico Sports & Events Center in Richmond, Virginia, in April. It was an exhilarating experience where I got to witness firsthand the intensity and skill of players from all over the United States. The games were surprisingly rough, showcasing the determination and passion of the athletes. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply looking for a fun outing, I highly recommend attending these games in the future—you won't be disappointed!
Next, I had the pleasure of attending the New York Abilities Expo in May—a fantastic event that showcased the latest advancements in assistive technology. From cutting-edge tech gadgets to innovative mobility solutions, there was something for everyone. Beyond the impressive array of products on display, the expo provided an invaluable opportunity to network with industry professionals and connect with like-minded individuals. What's even better is that Abilities Expos like this take place several times throughout the year across the country, making it accessible to a wide audience.
Both events left me inspired and enlightened, offering a glimpse into the incredible possibilities that exist within the world of adaptive sports and assistive technology. Whether you're passionate about sports or intrigued by the latest tech innovations, these events are definitely worth checking out!
