68th ANNUAL STATE CONVENTION
October 27 through October 30

The 68th Annual State Convention will kick off with a BANG on Thursday October 27 in Greeley, Colorado with an interactive and inspiring seminar on knowing our history and building our future and your chance to play in a mini goalball tournament. If playing goalball is not for you, don't worry, we are providing audio description so spectating will be more fun than ever. The programming will continue all weekend long with exhibitors, informative and inspiring presentations during general sessions, additional breakout seminars including meetings of several of our special interest divisions, interactive and exciting social events, and much more! Make plans to join us Friday night for a LIVE Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre! Bring your best sleuthing skills and we will provide the heavy hors d'oeuvres and cash bar!

Once again, our convention will be hybrid so we hope you join us in person but if that does not work best for you and your health, you can still be eligible for door prizes by paying the registration fee of $20. Stay tuned for a full convention agenda slated to be released in early October.  We will also be sending updates throughout the rest of the summer.
