List of NEACT Summer Conferences

The Summer Conference is the highlight of the year's activities, with its depth and breadth of coverage, and extensive opportunities for networking. Below is a table showing the themes and locations of NEACT Conferences. Earlier entries in this table were developed from information in Centennial Tribute, a monumental history of NEACT prepared by John Swistak and Roy Upham on the occasion of NEACT's 100th anniversary in 1998. There is much more detailed information in that publication.
