<h2><b>How to Access the Convention Events</b></h2><br>
<br>
There are multiple ways to participate in and interact with all
convention events, from video conferencing to phone access. If you

<h3><b>All Sessions</i></b></h3><br>
<br>
All convention sessions, including the board meeting, general sessions,
and the banquet, will be held via Zoom. Due to the large amount of
sessions, there will be various links provided in the agenda as well as
the virtual event platform. Learn more about the features of Zoom on our
<a href="https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=21656&qid=5565007">

Meeting IDs and Zoom links will be provided in the agenda, as well as our
virtual event platform, CrowdCompass (more information coming soon).<br>
Each convention attendee will receive an invitation email to access the
CrowdCompass mobile app and virtual event platform on the web. Visit the
exhibit hall, personalize your own schedule, and network with other

<h2><b>Policies to Be Considered</b></h2><br>
<br>
As the supreme authority of the organization, the convention assembled
elects leaders and sets policies and priorities. Delegations normally
need to be in-person to vote but the board has proposed rules of
engagement for the virtual environment. Similar rules were adopted in
2020.<br>
Review the proposed
