Get the Scoop On Everything Saavi

Heading to the 2026 National Federation of the Blind National Convention in Austin, Texas?

We can’t wait to see you there. Saavi has put together a quick reference guide of practical tips and tricks for navigating NFB National Convention. This is a little different from the official First Timer’s Guide.

Inside our guide you’ll find little bits of wisdom that comes from those who have been there before: the things they wish someone had told them, the small habits that saved them time or stress, and the lessons that took a convention or two to learn.

Check out the Saavi Convention Companion.
