<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Join us for the 2024 National Convention of the National Federation of the Blind, July 3 through July 8, 2024, in Orlando, Florida.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">Book Your Hotel</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Rosen Centre<br>
9840 International Dr<br>
Orlando, FL 32819</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Our 2024 convention room rate for singles and doubles is $129; for triples and quads, the rate is $139. Occupancy taxes and surcharges are an additional 13.5 percent. There is no charge for children under eighteen if no extra bed is requested. Please note that the hotel is a no-smoking facility.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">For 2024 convention room reservations you should call the hotel at (800) 204-7234. Ask for the “NFB Convention” block. At the time you make a reservation, a $146 deposit is required for each room reserved. If you use a credit card, the deposit will be charged against your card immediately, just as would be the case with a $146 check. If a reservation is canceled before Saturday, June 1, 2024, half of the deposit will be returned. Otherwise, refunds will not be made.</span></p>
