About the NFDA International Convention & Expo

Every year, the NFDA International Convention & Expo is attended by thousands of funeral professionals from around the world who gather to learn, network and enjoy the company of their fellow funeral professionals. Education is a priority for NFDA members so the convention is packed with nearly 40 workshops and top-notch keynotes that provide members with the knowledge they need to even better serve their families. The world’s largest funeral service expo provides them with the additional resources they need to help families create meaningful tributes to their loved ones. It’s not all business, however. We also know how to have a great time and our special events provide a perfect backdrop for networking and having some fun.

While the NFDA International Convention & Expo has historically been planned with funeral directors in mind, the content is applicable to a wide variety of death care professionals, including hospice professionals, clergy and social workers. This year we’ve identified a variety of programming that would be of particular interest to individuals in these professions. 

Please join us and learn how you can partner with your local funeral professionals to help families create meaningful end-of-life tributes.
