The NCA has hosted technical conferences since 1988.
Our conferences are now held every other year as a one-day event on the day before our convention.
These conferences offer the old fashioned kind of one-on-one networking for those
who are involved with the day-to-day operations of a carousel.
The agendas at our conferences cover a wide range of topics on carousel operation. Some
common topics on the agenda are:
- Mechanical Maintenance and Repair
- Insurance
- Preservation and Restoration
- Gift Shop Operation
- Fund Raising and Promotional Events
- Safety
- Publicity
- Recruiting Volunteers
Our technical conferences are hosted all over the country, and there are always carousels
available to examine, to ride, and sometimes to repair! Here are the locations of our previous and future technical conferences:
