The NCEA Convention & Exposition is held annually the week after Easter Sunday. Anyone working in or interested in Catholic education is welcome to attend.
Approximately 350 sessions are held on all levels of Catholic education: diocesan offices, elementary, secondary, religious education, seminary, boards of education, as well as for pastors and parents.
The National NPCD Convocation, sponsored by NCEA's Religious Education Department, meets in conjunction with the convention, bringing together parish catechetical leaders.
Affiliate groups meeting with NCEA include the Catholic Library Association and the National Catholic Educational Exhibitors, Inc. Religious communities of women and men also convene with their members during the week.
A large exposition is an integral part of the annual convention and is meant to supplement the professional meetings by introducing attendees to the latest in educational equipment, supplies and services.
The Preliminary Program with specific topics and speakers, as well as registration information, will be mailed all NCEA members in late Fall. The exhibit prospectus, as well as application and contract for exhibit space will be mailed to all potential exhibitors in late Fall.
