To All Those Attending the NFB 2011 convention:

I hope the following list will assist you in planning your time at the NFB 
convention.  Although, I know it is near impossible to attend all of these 
meetings, I want you to be aware of what is being offered to you if you take 
the opportunity.

I will follow up this message asking persons to be sure to attend specific
