Sight Village is the UK’s leading exhibition and an essential event in the blind and low-vision calendar. It draws thousands of visitors seeking to explore the latest technology, products, and support services. This is more than just an exhibition—it’s a fully sensory experience where you can explore, engage, and be inspired.
We’re excited to announce that Blind Ambition will be at Sight Village Central at the Eastside Rooms Conference Centre in Birmingham on Monday 7th July and Tuesday 8th July 2025.
