At the convention blind people will discuss current issues, share their collective knowledge, and plan necessary legislative and outreach campaigns.  It is open to the public and is for anyone wanting to get more information about vision loss and blindness.  Events at the convention will include speakers and workshops specifically for students, seniors and the general public—blind and sighted—and technology. Our special guest will be announced soon.

The National Federation of the Blind is the nation's largest and most influential membership organization of blind persons working together to improve the lives and futures of all blind Americans.  The mission is to serve as the voice of the nation's blind.  There are more than 50,000 members in more than 700 local chapters in every state as well as in Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.  The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
