BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

After the uncertainty of Title I, Part C funding this past summer had passed, NASDME undertook extensive investigation into various formats for the 2026 National Conference. We had a shortened period for planning and valid concerns were communicated to NASDME by state and local MEP staff about airport security and about travel to different cities in these very uncertain times. 

 

Further, with the challenge of some state and local district travel restrictions and some limited travel budgets this year, NASDME decided to hold this new and different Convocation 2026. Many aspects of the conference will be familiar, but there will also be many new innovations. Further, with the advantage of not having to pay for travel this year, we hope many people can attend the Convocation who would not otherwise have been able to do so this year or in past years! Based on the significantly lower costs of attending this year, we expect a large turnout!
