Begin your convention experience by attending either the meeting for first-time convention goers or the meeting for convention volunteers. Get involved right away while meeting new members. We need you! Begin Thursday morning with our official Annual Meeting so you may greet your officers and board members, meet candidates for office, and hear the latest news of our association. You will then be fully prepared to enjoy the full experience of the convention, including the amazing exhibits, exhibitor showcases, lectures, competitions, masterclasses, and performances of world-class musicians, from one to hundreds!
