The annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Washington (NFBW) will be bigger, better, and more exciting than ever before. More than 200 blind individuals, educators, rehabilitation professionals, and a variety of service providers are expected to attend this year’s convention.
Along with cutting edge technology exhibits and dynamic, high-energy presentations, the 2026 NFBW Convention will have social events of epic proportions!
This is a wonderful opportunity to network with other youth and adults around the state, learn about new tools and technologies, and explore the possibilities of the future.
Immerse yourself in a diverse array of events—informative, educational, recreational, and inspirational. This all-age gathering promises a blend of insightful discussions, engaging activities, and moments of pure enjoyment. Reserve your spot for a weekend that resonates with navigating new horizons and embracing a future full of possibilities.
About NFBW
The National Federation of the Blind of Washington knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day NFBW raises the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back. Together with love, hope, and determination, NFBW transforms the dreams of blind Washingtonians into reality.
