The NCA has hosted annual technical conference each spring since 1988. These "three day weekend" 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:
