National PTA® Convention

Come join us in sunny San Jose, California at the 116th Annual National PTA Convention and Exhibition, June 21–24, 2012 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. There you will have the opportunity to interact with hundreds of fellow PTA members and volunteer leaders from our 54 state congresses, regional PTAs, and local PTA units.

At the National PTA Convention, attendees can choose to attend a wide-range of high-quality workshops and sessions, including six workshop tracks and four general meetings. These lively, interactive sessions will impart valuable information and resources that PTA leaders and members can take back to their schools and communities -- ideas and inspiration to help grow your local PTA, engage more parents, and involve teachers, students, schools, and business partners.

With a newly condensed exhibit schedule and more dedicated exhibit time, there are even more opportunities to interact with 200+ companies offering fundraising programs and services to improve your school, enhance your PTA, and engage more parents and students. In addition, there are several networking opportunities where you can connect with friends, share best practices and interact with fellow leaders who understand your dedication to PTA’s mission.

If you are looking for things to do, sights to see and places to go - the choices are endless when visiting San Jose. San Jose is a dynamic city and offers a variety of dining options, local theatre productions, educational museums, family fun activities, and diverse art exhibitions.

On behalf of the National PTA Board of Directors and staff, we look forward to welcoming you to San Jose in June!
