It is officially time to register and start making your travel plans for the
2024 State Convention of the National Federation of the Blind of California,
to be held March 14-17 2024 at the  Sacramento Marriott Rancho Cordova.

Circulate this announcement to all who may be interested in the
largest meeting of blind people in the state!

 

We will gather at the Sacramento Marriott Rancho Cordova on March 14-17,
2024.  We are excited to showcase: driverless cars, advancements in video
game accessibility, tactile art/design techniques, updates from our national
leadership, an exhibit hall,  and many other resources for the blindness
community. 

 
 

Book your room now to ensure you get our special convention hotel rate -- this offer expires on
February 21, 2024 and we expect rooms to sell out quickly!
Note that there is no group code and you simply need to reference the
National Federation of the Blind of California with the dates and location
when booking over the phone to get the discount rate.  Also note that there
are some unfortunate access issues with the Marriott website.  While it is
possible for some experienced users to book with the web interface given
enough patience, others may find it easier to book over the telephone at
(916) 638-1100 or 800-228-9290.  

Or, visit our convention registration page at:

Also please share our scholarship application far and wide, applications due
Feb 18, though you shouldn't wait that long.
