Convention Director

NDSC’s signature event for the past 52 years has been its Annual Convention. Our next one will be in Dallas, July 24th – 27th, 2025. The Convention brings together approximately 4,000 families, medical professionals, educators, therapists, researchers, caregivers, siblings, and more from around the country and even the world. The Convention consists of general workshops, a Youth & Adults Conference, a Siblings Conference, a Kids Camp, an Advocacy Policy Boot Camp, a Medical Interest Group Conference, an Educators Conference, an Exhibit Hall, a College Fair, and so much more!

The Convention Director position is a full-time exempt role as the Convention is a year-round planning endeavor. The person in this role must be a proven collaborative leader with exceptional attention to detail, multitasking skills, and experience planning major events and/or conferences. In addition, because this person will work with so many vendors, partners, and other NDSC stakeholders, they must have a high level of emotional intelligence, which is essential to doing the job well.
