[Teisha Gillespie]

One weekend, too many career opportunities and 3 days of unforgettable fun!

Sometimes you need to be there to believe it. And where you need to be the
first weekend in November is on the river in Portsmouth, alongside a few
hundred of your new professional contacts!

That’s right! The NFB of Virginia’s acclaimed state convention
<https://nfbv.org/convention> is back, bringing together other blind and
low vision professionals, giving you the opportunity to network with
someone who might just have the career you are looking to break into, or a
once-in-a-lifetime connection that will give you that leg up!

But we’re not just about work here. So, be prepared for some good adult fun
throughout the entire weekend!

So, What Can You Expect?

   Real-time feedback on your resume to unlock fresh job prospects, and
   On-site mock interviews to convert those prospects into offers

   An interactive video game lab where you can learn how to use accessible
   gaming features to kick-back while enjoying your favorite titles

   Firsthand demonstrations with the technology making the workplace more
   accessible, including an interactive session on using AI to level up your
   performance now and in future jobs
   -

   A blind tennis experience where you can learn to serve it up–that is,
   the ball, not lunch to your co-workers, but hey, you might just learn that
   too!–while getting exposure to the incredible world of adaptive sports
   -

   Latest news on the laws governing your right to equal access on the job


Our food and hotel fees were negotiated years in advance to make this an
affordable experience that you couldn’t turn away! Depending on where you
live, we may even be able to reduce your transportation costs, and if your
children are coming along, we’ve got special programming for them to allow
you to just be you.

Register now! <https://nfbv.org/register>

Nothing beats face-to-face networking with colleagues who understand your
office challenges. Meet them over drinks, connect between plenary sessions,
or jump into spirited discussion at focused breakouts, and when you need to
recharge, take full advantage of the wide array of relaxing amenities in
and around the Renaissance hotel.

Register before October 7 to get an even better deal on meal functions. Get
entered for a drawing of $100 and secure your spot in the most talked about
gathering of blind and low vision professionals in the commonwealth!

Can’t wait to meet you in Portsmouth!

Warmly,

The NFB of Virginia Family
