The 2021 NOPBC Conference was held virtually July 6-10, 2021, in conjunction with the Annual Convention of the National Federation of the Blind.
Each year, the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC) hosts an annual conference within the NFB National Convention, and 2021 was no different. Federation members and friends of all ages gathered to learn and share, reconnect with old friends, and form new friendships. The NOPBC annual conference includes many sessions and workshops on a wide variety of interesting topics.
