National Federation of the Blind of Ohio (NFBO)

75th Annual Convention

Join us as we celebrate NFBO'S Annual Convention and expand our circle of
participation, connecting blind Americans from across the state for what we
expect to be the largest gathering of blind people in the history of Ohio.

"Back to the basics and engaging the future"

You Can Register Now!

Ohio's 75th State Convention, coined "Back to the basics" will be held
November 5th-6th-7th, 2021 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Columbus -
Worthington located at 175 Hutchinson Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43235. The
telephone number for reservations is (614) 885-3334.

We will "shine bright like a diamond" because it is the 75th birthday of the
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio.

Therefore, we can assure you that this convention will be the largest
assemble of blind people in the state that will offer blind individuals an
opportunity to learn about accessible technology at our Tech Fair, and about
living with blindness, by attending many educational seminars.

Here are a few convention highlights:

. Network with blind people from all parts of the country.

. Encourage blind persons to expand their knowledge of resources.

. Attend Workshops designed to promote leadership, membership building, and
successful attitudes towards employment strategies.

. Attend Ohio's Black Tie Banquet that will provide scholarships to blind
college students. The cost of this spectacular event is $45.00.

. Visit the Exhibit Hall on November 6th to explore the latest technology
and low-vision products.

. Enter a drawing when you register online to win a free night at the
convention by donating ten dollars  or more to assist with the work of the
Ohio Affiliate.

Again, Registration is free and now open. Register at WWW.NFBOhio.ORG
