Conventions and Events Tools Project

For the 2020-2022 Conference cycle, we are continuing with the development of resources that support the successful delivery of local conventions and events. These new materials represent current best practices and experiences of our service committees responsible for overseeing these events. If you have convention or event experience then your participation in developing these tools is needed and welcomed. 

The current focus is on Committee Structure and Accountability. We are collecting any input and ideas on that topic. Feel free to send your ideas to conventions@na.org

We will be hosting more workshops and web meetings to gather input on the draft and other prioritized topics that support convention and event service. Please write to conventions@na.org if you are interested in receiving information about those opportunities. 

Below is the current list of completed materials:
