“When I attend VisionServe conferences, it always comes back to the people. I’ve really enjoyed reconnecting with people that I’ve met. When we’re in the trenches every day serving our communities, we forget that there is a larger group of us out there doing the same thing and encountering the same issues.”
Eric Yarberry, CEO & President, World Services for the Blind
“I am having a blast at the conference! This is just so powerful for me to see several things that have really moved me. One is the scope of people who are here – so many of us in the space with vision loss and to see people claim their space and speak their truth is amazing. And the content is amazing!”
Denise Jess, CEO, Wisconsin Council of the Blind & Visually Impaired
“My advice to first time conference attendees would be to plan ahead, look at all of the conference agenda and participate in absolutely as much as you can, even in the evenings. The conference sessions and content are really important, and the networking and people you get to meet can become really good friends, and colleagues.”
Tim Tegge, Executive Director, The Sight Center of Northwest Ohio
