With spring finally arriving, the last thing anyone wants to do is think about October, but that’s exactly what we’re doing at NDACo – prepping for the 2025 Annual Conference, October 26-28. If those dates seem unusually late in the month to you, you’re right. It’s as late as NDACo has ever held the event.

To provide the most targeted educational opportunities over the 12 workshops offered, we need help from our county members (that’s you). Please send your ideas for workshop topics and presenters to jeff.eslinger@ndaco.org or call 701-425-0808. This is among the most challenging aspects of conference planning. We also keep the suggestions from prior years that we couldn’t fit in.

We will again be offering ILG hours for all attendees, rather than tracking attendance in each room as was done for years. Tentatively, that will be 6 hours for full attendance, 2.25 hours for Monday only, and 3.75 hours for Tuesday only.

As this is your association’s 50^th Anniversary, we want it to be the best conference experience we’ve ever had. The theme, keynote speaker and other details will be announced soon. Registration will open on July 7.

Exhibitors and Sponsors will be notified of their registration by email in the coming weeks.
