From the Quadcamp Facebook page:

QuadCAMP is a revolutionary new movement which aims to bring together both abled and disabled members of society with a common passion for technology, media and business.

Similar in style to 27Dinners, BarCAMP and MobileMonday. QuadCAMP will be a great place to come and network with industry leaders from around the world. Come and see first hand how the severely disabled members of our society manage to live semi normal lives thanks to the marvels of modern technology. See the quads in action and learn much from their sad experiences.

The main goal of this years Camp is to empower disabled members of the Ama Wheelies NPO (www.amawheelies.co.za). Helping them to reach their full potential through informal computer, cellphone and techno educational workshops.

Companies will be invited to demo new techno gadgets designed to improve the lives of the disabled. A select group of quadriplegics and paraplegics from the Ama Wheelies NPO will be on hand to demo these gadgets.

Attendees will be asked to donate unwanted old working computers, cellphones and all other techno gadgets which can be used to improve the lives of these previously and currently disadvantaged individuals.
