*Join the 2020 National Convention from Anywhere*

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the national convention
of the National Federation of the Blind, originally scheduled for Houston,
Texas, from July 14-19, is going virtual. The organized blind movement will
connect blind Americans for the largest gathering of the blind in history!

The 2020 national convention will include most of the elements
conventioneers expect, with some new twists. Details about registration for
the convention, as well as details of the convention schedule and logistics
as they become available, can be found at www.nfb.org/convention

“The National Federation of the Blind is delighted to celebrate our
eightieth year by expanding the circle of participation to create what will
surely be the largest gathering of the blind in history,” said Mark
Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. “Through this
unique event, we will connect blind Americans from anywhere to build
opportunities everywhere. We look forward to spreading the 2020 view on
blindness to the entire nation and beyond.”

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.
