That’s a wrap on #ACB2026!
Thank you to everyone who made the 2026 ACB Conference and Convention a tremendous success. We we’re honored to welcome in so many of our members, affiliates, partners, and friends. Our nearly 1,200 virtual and in-person attendees from around the country brought energy, passion, and engagement throughout the event.
Save the date: The 2027 ACB Conference and Convention will be held July 23-30 in Jacksonville, Florida.
We’re excited to begin the virtual portion of the 2026 ACB Conference and Convention today! Virtual programming for this year’s convention runs from July 13-18, followed by the combined in-person and virtual portion from July 24-31.

I hope all my fellow #Blind, #DeafBlind, and #VisuallyImpaired people, along with their family, friends, and others have a great time at the #ACB and/or #NFB 2026 conventions. I am taking this time, and the increased activity on certain hashtags to do some shameless promotion of #OurBlind. OurBlind comprises the Discord, Lemmy, and Reddit communities operated by the staff of the r/Blind subreddit, as well as those who have joined since the creation of the Discord in 2022, and Lemmy in 2023. We have members from all over the world, and of all ages, hearing and vision levels, and are a safe space for Our LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse friends. Our general community guidelines, and the links to reach our platforms can be found on our website.
