GVEST Vision Conference 2026

The 2026 conference is held in Macon, Georgia.

The organizer identifies vision professionals, educators, and professionals serving people with visual impairments as audiences for GVEST training and professional learning.

It is most worthwhile for Georgia teachers of students with visual impairments, orientation and mobility specialists and other vision professionals, since the workshops are led by experts in blindness and carry ACVREP and CRC credit. The sponsor list is made up of assistive technology and blindness-focused organizations such as American Printing House for the Blind and Center for Assistive Technology Training, which helps those comparing tools; professionals outside the vision field or outside Georgia will get less from a statewide focus.

Educators and rehabilitation professionals at workshop-style conferences usually wear business casual, with comfortable shoes and layers for a day of sessions in October.
