<h1><b>Start Planning Your Trip for #NFB24</b></h1><br>

Join us for the 2024 National Convention of the National Federation of
the Blind, July 3 through July 8, 2024, in Orlando, Florida.<br>
<h2><b>Book Your Hotel</b></h2><br>
<br>
Rosen Centre<br>
9840 International Dr<br>
Orlando, FL 32819<br>
<br>
Our 2024 convention room rate for singles and doubles is $129; for
triples and quads, the rate is $139. Occupancy taxes and surcharges are
an additional 13.5 percent. There is no charge for children under
eighteen if no extra bed is requested. Please note that the hotel is a
no-smoking facility.<br>
<br>
For 2024 convention room reservations you should call the hotel at (800)
204-7234. Ask for the “NFB Convention” block. At the time you make a
reservation, a $146 deposit is required for each room reserved. If you
use a credit card, the deposit will be charged against your card
immediately, just as would be the case with a $146 check. If a
reservation is canceled before Saturday, June 1, 2024, half of the
deposit will be returned. Otherwise, refunds will not be made.<br>
