EXHIBIT HALL
The Exhibit Hall at the national convention is always an exciting space to
check out the latest technology and many other products and services of
interest to the blind community. In a virtual environment, the exhibit hall
experience will be different than it is in person, but there are many ways
to connect, ask questions, and learn something new.
All attendees are encouraged to visit <https://crowd.cc/nfb21>
https://crowd.cc/nfb21 (after June 25) where you will find many familiar and
some new exhibitors. View their profiles at any time. Interact during the
exhibit hall hours of operation. A list of exhibitors is available on our
convention webpage, <https://nfb.org/convention>
https://nfb.org/convention.
Exhibit Hall hours of operation are:
Saturday: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
INDEPENDENCE MARKET
As with the Exhibit Hall, you cannot visit the NFB Independence Market in
person. However, the Market will continue to accept phone orders during
convention and has extended hours to reflect our multiple-time-zone
convention schedule this year.
