[Owen McCafferty]

Only way I would EVEN go is if blind artist John Bramblitt would be attending and so far I heard he wasn’t planning on being there so it’s a pass for me!

National Federation of the Blind 2023 National Convention

July 1 through July 6, 2023

Houston, Texas

#NFB23

 

The National Federation of the Blind is the transformative membership and advocacy organization of blind people. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Each year we come together for important discussions, decisions, and information sharing.

 

As an attendee, take advantage of the opportunity to:

* Network with thousands of blind role models

* Connect with leaders in the field of blindness

* Attend presentations on a variety of empowering topics

* Learn about the latest in technology and innovation

* And more!

The convention is open to all. Important note: Our constitution states that only members of the Federation have the right to participate in decision-making when it comes to organizational policy. If you are not already a member, please connect with your state affiliate (https://nfb.org/about-us/state-affiliates).

 

Schedule Outline

Each day is packed with opportunities and connections. The schedule for this year's convention is:

* Saturday, July 1: Seminars, Breakout Sessions, Registration Opens 

* Sunday, July 2: Exhibit Hall Opens, More Breakouts, Resolutions Committee

* Monday, July 3: National Board and National Division Meetings

* Tuesday, July 4: General Sessions with Opening Ceremonies and Presidential Report

* Wednesday, July 5: General Sessions with Presentations, Financial Report, and Elections

* Thursday, July 6: General Sessions with Presentations, Banquet, and Adjournment

Is this your first convention or do you need a review of what to expect?
