National Federation of the Blind 2023 National Convention

July 1 through July 6, 2023

Houston, Texas

#NFB23



The National Federation of the Blind is the transformative membership and
advocacy organization of blind people. Every day we raise the expectations
of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind
people and our dreams. Each year we come together for important
discussions, decisions, and information sharing.



As an attendee, take advantage of the opportunity to:

* Network with thousands of blind role models

* Connect with leaders in the field of blindness

* Attend presentations on a variety of empowering topics

* Learn about the latest in technology and innovation

* And more!

The convention is open to all. Important note: Our constitution states that
only members of the Federation have the right to participate in
decision-making when it comes to organizational policy. If you are not
already a member, please connect with your state affiliate (
https://nfb.org/about-us/state-affiliates).



Schedule Outline

Each day is packed with opportunities and connections. The schedule for
this year's convention is:

* Saturday, July 1: Seminars, Breakout Sessions, Registration Opens

* Sunday, July 2: Exhibit Hall Opens, More Breakouts, Resolutions Committee

* Monday, July 3: National Board and National Division Meetings

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.
