The NCA 108th Annual Convention, “Honoring PLACE: People, Liberation, Advocacy, Community, and Environment,” will take place November 17-20, 2022, in New Orleans, LA.

Additionally, six sessions will be held online in the weeks leading up to the convention. These sessions will include conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion; accessibility; structural violence; health communication; racist affects; and more. Learn more about the sessions that will be available for our virtual attendees here.
