Get ready for the Birthday Bash!

The countdown is on! The NCA’s 100th Birthday Bash is weeks away, and we’re hoping we see you there. The registrations are streaming in, the hotel is filling up, and plans for an amazing event are underway. Have you registered yet?

This once-in-a-century event will feature lots of socializing and networking. Old friends from decades past will mingle with new members full of entrepreneurial energy. The ideas and enthusiasm will flow like electricity through the meeting spaces, meals, parties and educational events.

Education will play a key part in the event. Attendees will learn how to make masks, maximize social media, sell products beyond Halloween, and much more.

Indianapolis, which is the birthplace of the NCA, will be the fun-filled backdrop to the weekend’s festivities. The city is full of activities for families with children, so bring the kids! (See a list of venues and activities on page 8.)

All events will take place at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Indianapolis North, 3912 Vincennes Road. The fee to attend is $279, which includes Friday and Saturday night dinners, Saturday lunch, and all four educational events. The hotel rate is $139/night and includes breakfast and high-speed internet. The NCA has reserved a block of rooms; call 317-872-7700 to make a reservation.

See you in August!
