Conference Submission Dates

NPA offers multiple educational opportunities throughout the year. These events provide a platform for PACE education to thousands of individuals in the PACE community each year.  These offerings also provide an opportunity for individuals to network, share ideas and learn about the latest PACE products.

We depend on the PACE community to provide their expertise and share their experience in order to make these offerings relevant and engaging. NPA encourages members of the PACE community to submit a proposal to present at a future conference.
