Greetings, Federation Family and Friends,


As we head into the weekend, we want to make sure everyone knows several
important registration and hotel reminders for the *2026 National
Federation of the Blind of New Jersey 50th Anniversary State
Convention*, *October
21–25, 2026, at the Tropicana Atlantic City.*

*IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WITH HOTEL RESERVATIONS*

*Having a hotel reservation in the NFB of NJ convention room block does NOT
replace convention registration.*

If you have secured a room through our convention hotel block, *you must
also complete your convention registration by the October 7 deadline.*
Hotel rooms in the convention block are intended for registered convention
attendees. *If you have a room in the convention block but do not complete
your convention registration, we will not honor your room as part of the
convention room block.*

If you have already reserved your hotel room, please take a moment to make
sure you have also completed your convention registration.

*PRE-REGISTRATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 7 AT 5 PM*

Pre-registration closes *Wednesday, October 7, at 5 PM.*

Please do not wait until the last minute. You can only purchase meals
during pre-registration, and they will NOT be available for purchase
at* on-site
registration.*

If you plan to attend any of our convention meals—including breakfasts,
boxed lunches, the Thursday Pasta Bar, Friday Family Dinner, or Saturday
Banquet—you must purchase your meals before the October 7 deadline.

If you have already registered but would like to add or update your *preferred
meal selections*, you can return to the registration form and select
the *“Already
Registered”* option to make those selections.

*Pre-register or update your meal selections today:*

After the deadline, on-site convention registration will be *$50* and will
not include the opportunity to purchase meals.

*IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT BUS TICKETS*

If you intend to use the convention buses *for only one direction of
travel—either TO the convention or FROM the convention—you still need to
purchase a one-way bus ticket.*

Please purchase the appropriate bus ticket if you plan to use convention
transportation in either direction.
