First-Time Attendees

5 tips to make the most of your first in-person NACo conference.

Pre-Conference

1. RSVP to the invitation you should receive for NACo's First-Time Attendee Orientation on Friday, July 21, 8:00 a.m. – 9:15 a.m.

   • NACo President Denise Winfrey, Executive Director Matt Chase and Membership Committee Chair Matthew Prochaska will welcome you to the conference and first-timers will have a chance to connect with NACo Ambassadors in a roundtable discussion.

2. Review the Conference Schedule and select committee meetings and educational sessions of interest.

   • Committee meetings are open to all attendees unless otherwise noted
   • Committee meetings, workshops and educational sessions take place during the day and social events are planned in the evening.
   • Attend your region’s Caucus meeting, tentatively scheduled on Monday, July 24 from 2:00 – 2:45 p.m. Check here to find your state’s region.

3. Download the NACo Conference app. The app allows you to create your own schedule, access meeting content, view other attendees, send messages and more.

   • The app will be available for download on apple and android devices prior to the conference.

4. The dress code for the conference is business; however, we recommend that you pack comfortable walking shoes and an extra layer for chilly conference rooms.

   • For evening social events, the dress code is business casual.

5. Check in with your state association to find out who else is attending from your state and to learn about any events they may have planned.

Look out for the “What to Know Before You Go” email sent to registrants in early July with information about the conference and the conference app. We look forward to seeing you in Travis County, Texas.
