2024 State Convention Request for Proposals

The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado is excited to announce that we are seeking content for our 2024 State Convention seminars and breakout sessions. We will be meeting in person at Denver Mariott South, Park Meadows.

The convention will be held from Thursday, October 24 through Sunday morning, October 27. Breakout sessions will be held during the afternoon of Friday, October 25, and may also occur Saturday afternoon, October 26.  We are calling upon all special interest groups, divisions, chapters, educators, rehabilitation professionals, access technology experts, and anyone interested in providing instruction or discussion that will increase equality, opportunity, and security for blind a low vision Coloradans. The National Federation of the Blind is made up of blind people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. This year we are seeking new and dynamic content that will appeal to our diverse audience. If there is something fun, exciting, interesting, intriguing, or educational that you want to share with the blind of Colorado, please fill out the information below and email it to Lisa Bonderson at  lbonderson at cocenter.org by September 23, 2024. We will review all proposals and will let you know by October 1 whether your proposal/seminar has been chosen as a part of this year's convention festivities.

If you have attended a convention of the National Federation of the Blind in the past, you know that we often hold a large number of breakout sessions simultaneously. For this convention, we will be limiting the number of seminars that can be held at the same time. We will be accepting a limited number of breakout sessions/seminars; this number includes sessions organized by special interest groups and committees as well as activities hosted by divisions which are not annual division business meetings.

So, division leaders, if your group wants to host a breakout session/seminar, you need to submit a proposal.  Please give us as much detail as possible about your session and how it will enhance the Convention. We will choose the presentations which best fit our agenda. Proposals need be no longer than 2 pages. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept all of the proposals that are submitted.
