Those who have been to a convention before have their highlights 

if it is the food, or new friendships, Rubbing shoulders with our national
guests and visitors, if it is breakout sessions, enjoying the auctioneers
candor, or the music after hours jamming into the early morning, or enjoying
the venters who come to share technology, fun stuff and educate, or just
being around people who know how to be successful.

 

It is time to gather, grow, and gear up for action! We are thrilled to
invite you to the 2026 National Federation of the Blind of Utah Annual State
