National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania State Convention 2026

The 2026 convention takes place at Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The organizer names blind Pennsylvanians, families, educators, professionals, and advocates as audiences for the convention. The organizer also invites organizations to sponsor the event and connect with attendees.

It suits blind Pennsylvanians, their families, educators and advocates who want a statewide gathering of their own community, since the convention is organised by the state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind and runs four days at a single accessible resort. Exhibitors and sponsors get direct access to that audience, while someone seeking a large commercial trade show would find the scale and focus different, as the stated sponsor aims centre on Braille literacy, scholarships and advocacy.

Attendees at state consumer-organization conventions usually wear business casual or comfortable casual clothing, with somewhat dressier outfits for any banquet. Hershey in early November is cool, and the convention is held in one resort, so layers are enough for moving between rooms.
