We will kick-off our 55th annual Convention with an informal gathering on Thursday evening March 27th when we will gather at the Marriott to share light hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and convivial conversation.
The work of convention begins on Friday morning March 28th and concludes at 12:00 noon on Sunday March 30th. Our 2025 Convention is designed to provide each one of us with the tools and information needed to become the very best we can be. You will learn about the skills, approaches and techniques we can apply  in every phase of our lives as blind people with the National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska to encourage, advise and support us, through good times and hard times alike. These life phases will include: 

Blind students— From elementary school through graduate school, no matter your age; we have members who have walked the halls you walk. 
Parents—Whether you are the sighted parent of a blind child or a blind parent raising sighted children; we have members who have been right where you are.
Job Seekers: If you are looking for employment in your chosen career or needing to work to pay the bills right now; our members have read those rejection letters and kept on submitting applications. 
Professionals—Perhaps you are one of the first blind people to work in your field, or your profession is one you’ve had for years but blindness recently came along to disrupt your life; Yes our members have experienced each of these situations as well. . 
Seniors—Some of you will have lived your whole lives as blind people while others are new to the challenges of vision loss; we know how each of these realities feels. 

In all of these phases we have members ready to share what worked for them when facing what you face. This convention will feature experts in each of these areas who can share the experiences and lessons learned from blind people across the Country and abroad, bringing answers to the most pressing questions of today.  
Stand by for updates every month or so, until we reach January when we will update you more frequently. My hope is that each of you will experience  a convention filled with learning and laughing; reconnecting with old friends and making new ones; preparing you to step back into your life with a host of tools and techniques that will help you live that life to the fullest!
