Exhibit Hall

The exhibit hall at the National Federation of the Blind National Convention is one of the most visited locations during convention week. It features the latest technology, state affiliate and national division resources, and many other products and services of interest to the blind community. The NFB Independence Market is also located within the exhibit hall. The 2023 exhibit hall will be in the Ballroom of the Americas on the second floor of the Hilton Americas-Houston.

An exhibitor showcase virtual preview was held in June for participants to learn about each exhibitor, what they offer in the exhibit hall, and how to connect with them if not attending in person. Access the recording of the 2023 Exhibitor Virtual Showcase; Passcode: ygj5^d$z.
