NACTA 2020 Conference Registration
NOW OPEN!


We are pleased to announce that registration for the 2020 NACTA Annual Conference, to be held June 16-19, 2020 in Las Cruces, NM, USA, is now open. By attending the NACTA conference, you are able to connect with and learn from others who share the same passion for the improvement of teaching and learning in agriculture, food and natural resources. The annual NACTA conference will provide you with new teaching techniques, ideas and resources. It is also one of the best professional development activities for networking with other teaching professionals where the common discipline is “teaching.”

In addition to learning from others, the conference gives you the opportunity to present your own ideas in an oral or poster presentation. Each year about 250 abstracts are presented at the NACTA Conference, and these are published in a supplement to the NACTA Journal.

Additional meeting details and registration can be found here.
