Conferences

You are invited to attend the Hearing Loss Association of America Kentucky Chapters Conference which will be held on September 11-12, 2015 at the Louisville Marriott Downtown, 280 West Jefferson Street. Our two-day educational program is presented by our membership and our partner the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, to bring better living through information and support in the areas of technology, treatment, and coping skills.

The conference will include award presentations, exciting workshops, exhibits featuring state-of-the-art technology for everyone's telecommunication needs, and unique networking opportunities. Don't forget to book your hotel room at Hyatt; TDI has been able to secure a generous discount price of $149 per night for a room there.  If you'd like more information on that, visit this page. This will be the 21st Biennial TDI Conference held during the 47 years since TDI's establishment in 1968.
