Free Aira Site Access at National Federation of the Blind State Conventions

The National Federation of the Blind has partnered with Aira to provide free
Aira Site Access to NFB members during our 2018 state convention. Aira
subscribers who are National Federation of the Blind members can use the
service at our convention for free without having minutes deducted from
their plans. In addition, those interested in Aira have the unique
opportunity to try out the service for free while at our convention. This
convention-wide, free site access is available only at NFB state
conventions, giving NFB members an exclusive opportunity to test-drive Aira
in a convention setting.

Aira allows blind individuals to connect via live video to a trained agent
through a mobile app or wearable glasses to get real-time visual information
or assistance. Learn more about Aira and special pricing available for NFB
members at go.aira.io/NFB.

How it Works
Before you head to convention or as soon as you get there, download the free
Aira app from the App Store, and create a guest account if you are not
already an Aira subscriber. Also, make sure your phone’s GPS feature is
enabled. When you enter the convention Site Access location, your phone will
receive a notification letting you know that the space you are in is part of
the Aira Network. When you connect with an agent, he or she will also
confirm that you are now covered by the network, and no minutes will be
deducted from your account.

When you leave or enter convention areas that are covered by the Site Access
network, you will be informed by the Aira agent.

To learn more about Aira and the special plan available exclusively to NFB
members, visit go.aira.io/NFB.
