 The State Convention is Coming!

 

Pilots of Progress: Sixty Years Strong, Soaring to New Horizons!!

 

Get ready for a weekend of fun and fellowship.  Come and be part of celebrating our accomplishments and planning for the future!

 

  • Date: February 12 - 15, 2026
  • Place: Ashore Resort and Beach Club, 10100 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, MD 21842
  • Come and meet our keynote speaker and National Representative .
  • Explore opportunities through special workshops for parents and teachers of blind children, blind merchants and entrepreneurs, and students.  Check out our workshops and more.
  • Examine new products at the exhibit hall on Friday.
  • Help us raise expectations for ourselves and for officials who manage services for the blind.

 

Can a blind person work in STEM?  How do blind students excel in school?  What are NFB training centers, and why should you get training?  Can blind people be proficient in the arts and other activities?  At last year’s convention, we met and heard from blind persons who are experts in these areas and more.   What interesting stories from blind people will we hear at the upcoming Convention?

 

Do you want to meet seniors who are living the lives they want despite losing their vision later in life?  Do you want to meet blind people who are successfully employed in everything from electrical engineering to clerical work?  Do you want to meet blind people who own and operate their own businesses?  By networking at the convention, you will meet all these types of people and more.

 

The banquet on Saturday evening is the highlight of every convention. Our keynote speaker has been actively involved in the National Federation of the Blind for many years. You will not want to miss this inspirational address. We will also award scholarships, and recognize a variety of achievements at the banquet.

 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.  Come to the convention to find out how you can make sure that blindness does not hold you back. For the latest information go to https://www.nfbmd.org.
