‘The networking, and coming away challenged and reinvigorated. The conference reconfirmed why I love working in this sector.‘—2019 ECA National Conference attendee.
‘Do I have to be an ECA member to attend?’

‘I’m not sure if I can have that much time away from work’
By dedicating time to experience the ECA National Conference, you will be able to focus and fully immerse yourself in ‘learning mode’, which will allow you to execute what you learn faster and give you new ideas. When you return from the event, you can deliver a presentation on what you’ve have learnt and how it can be applied in your workplace or service.
