Convention Tips for First Timers

New to the NAIA National Convention? Here are a few tips to help guide newcomers.

  • We are kicking off this year with a Welcome Reception on Friday, April 5 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
    • Stop by and meet and greet while enjoying some food and libations with your colleagues 
  • First Time Attendee tips at our Orientation - Saturday, April 8 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
    • This workshop will provide you with the tools needed to successfully navigate the convention. This will also give an opportunity to meet others that are new to the convention.
       
  • Take the time to attend as many workshops as possible. This will give you a good understanding of how the NAIA works.
     
  • Note in the program which meetings are just for committee members.
     
  • Make sure to attend all the general sessions
    • Make sure to wear your name badge - has your name, title, and what university you represent.
       
  • If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask any NAIA National Office staff member. They are there to help!
