Tagline: Bringing equity, empowerment, and innovation into view.


Step into the spotlight and shape the future with us!


Connecting the Dots 2025 is Canada’s largest and most dynamic conference dedicated to accessibility, inclusion, and innovation for people who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision.


Hosted by CNIB, this multi-city experience brings together our community—a vibrant mosaic of individuals, each with unique experiences, identities, and goals—coming together to learn, connect, and grow as one.


This year’s theme, “One Community, A Future in Focus,” celebrates the power of collective momentum. It's about clarity of purpose, bold innovation, and the strength that comes from uniting diverse voices to build a future without barriers.


Whether you're an educator, innovator, technologist, advocate, entrepreneur, or changemaker, we invite you to share your ideas and insights that spark progress across CNIB’s four pillars: Technology, Employment, Education, and Wellness.


Join us for powerful conversations, cutting-edge sessions, and collaborative energy that pushes boundaries and redefines what's possible.


Have a bold idea? Submit a proposal!

Selected speakers will receive complimentary access to the conference on the day of their session.


Please ensure all presentation materials are provided in accessible formats. If you need assistance, reach out to us at ConnectingTheDots@cnib.ca  —we’re here to help create a space that’s inclusive for all.


Let’s focus forward—together, as One Community.
