[NFBC-Info] Registration and Hotel Discounts Now Live for NFB of California 2026 Convention

[president at nfbcal.org]

Friends,

 

2026 is here with exciting opportunities for blind people. You can now
register for the largest gathering of and for blind people on the West Coast
this March 13-15 in Anaheim, CA. 

Every year our National Federation of the Blind of California convention has
a life-changing impact on blind people and their families. We share
resources, highlight trends in technology, law, employment, and discuss
other hot topics affecting our community. Come laugh, learn, and live the
life you want to live with other positive blind people and our allies.

 

The agenda will be posted in the coming weeks including topics like how to
become a blind YouTuber, the latest in AI tools, our introduction of an
innovative website accessibility bill in the California legislature, and
much more. You can expect our division and interest group meetings, exhibit
hall vendors,

an exciting general session on Saturday afternoon, our traditional banquet
on Saturday evening,

and the elections, resolutions, and business meeting on Sunday morning.
Don't miss this special opportunity to connect with other blind friends and
colleagues.

 

We convene at the Clarion Hotel Anaheim, starting on Friday evening, March
13 and ending on Sunday afternoon, March 15. Anyone attending the CSUN
Assistive Technology Conference will conveniently be able to join us without
additional travel or downtime. The Clarion Hotel Anaheim is across the
street from the CSUN conference hotel. You can even use our hotel group
discount during the week leading into our weekend convention (while supplies
last).
