The BITS Organization

Blind Information Technology specialist is a not-for-profit organization which fosters the career development of blind computer professionals; promotes the use of computer technology by blind persons to improve the quality of their personal and professional lives; and advocates for improved information access for all visually impaired people.

BITS holds a chat session on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 PM Eastern Time, for anyone who would like to join us. These chat sessions are informal opportunities to get together and talk about whatever members and friends want to talk about. Visit the BITS Chat and Zoom Links page for more details.

The Presentations committee hosts presentations that are available to BITS members in good standing only. At various times during the year, presentations will be open to the general public.

BITS also provides exclusive programs to BITS members from the convention. As a BITS member, you will be able to download BITS program sessions if you cannot attend the convention.

In addition, you will be subscribed to a BITS members only email list, where you can ask questions, and discuss technology with other members.
