Save the Date: 2027 National Convention


We can't wait to be with you in Austin, Texas again next year from July 2-7,
2027. For more information, visit nfb.org/convention

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
