At the convention blind people will discuss current issues, share their
collective knowledge, and plan necessary legislative and outreach
campaigns.  It is open to the public and is for anyone wanting to get more
information about vision loss and blindness.  Events at the convention will
include speakers and workshops specifically for students, seniors and the
general public—blind and sighted—and technology. Our special guest will be
announced soon.

The National Federation of the Blind is the nation's largest and most
influential membership organization of blind persons working together to
improve the lives and futures of all blind Americans.  The mission is to
serve as the voice of the nation's blind.  There are more than 50,000
members in more than 700 local chapters in every state as well as in
Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.  The National Federation of the Blind
knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your
future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can
live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
