What should I bring?
Extra business cards!
The NCA Convention is a business casual event. Keep in mind you'll be moving around between meetings and sessions - we recommend comfortable shoes and layers to accommodate conference room climate control.
NCA Day of Service volunteers are encouraged to wear casual clothes and will need to wear flat, closed-toed shoes.
What if I have a food allergy or other medical concerns?
Please contact the friendly NCA staff and we will be happy to help!

What health policies are in place?
Any public space where other people are present holds an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other communicable diseases. NCA is committed to following all current CDC guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as state, local, and corporate (hotel) requirements to be mindful of the safety of attendees, partners, guests, and staff.
