2025-26 NACA Conference Associate Guide
Review the 2025-26 Associate Conference Guide for information on registration, exhibiting, showcasing, deadlines, and event policies.
Important Updates for 2025-2026 Conference Season:
- Associate members DO NOT need to purchase a booth in order to submitt to showcase or submit an educational session proposal. However, if you are selected to showcase or to present an educational session, you will need to purchase a booth and delegate fee in order to attend the conference.
- There are new immersive, off-stage performance opportunities for speakers, novelty/interactive programs, and roving musical & novelty artists. (See the Sponsor Prospectus for more information)
- We are piloting a second-chance showcase opportunity, the "People's Choice Showcase" for NEW artists with minimal tech needs. (See page 16 for more information)
- Educational session presenters are eligible to showcase, if chosen for both.
- There are now early, regular, and late registration deadlines to help you save more by registering earlier!
- All registered conference attendees are expected to stay inside the contracted hotel block. (See page 12 for more information)
- NACA Riverside will have a lower-cost table exhibit set up this year, rather than utilizing traditional pipe & drape.
