About Tech Tools for Life
The Tech Tools for Life Conference is an collaboration that stems from various organizations all focusing on bringing together experts in Assistive Technology to build capacity and elevate AT awareness throughout the State of Connecticut. Tech Tools for Life has previously hosted one and multi-day conferences with keynote speakers, breakout sessions, Assistive Technology Exhibitors and technology demonstrations.
In 2025, our 2-day conference attracted nearly 300 attendees and 30 exhibitors from CT and many other states. The feedback we received was positive, but one theme stood out – attendees wanted more hands-on experiences. As a result, we shifted our model in 2026 to provide hands-on experiential learning. In 2027, we are bringing our conference back to create a pinnacle experience of assistive technology, knowledge, and connection!
We are excited to meet the needs of our community as Tech Tools for Life strives to highlight assistive technology at its best.
