North Carolina Athletic Directors Association

Conference Sponsors

On behalf of the Executive Board of NCADA and our members, we sincerely thank you for your continued support and commitment to education-based interscholastic athletics. The lifelong memories we continue to create in the lives of those we serve are a catalyst to growth and equip our student-athletes for the “Game of Life.” Let us continue to be intentional in our daily decisions and disciplines to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate in our programs and turn moments into memories.

We are excited to host everyone again in Asheville at the Renaissance Hotel from Friday, March 13th, to Monday, March 16th. We hope each of you can join us for three-plus days of networking, connecting, and relationship-building.

Registration for returning vendors (Ten + Years) will begin on 12/1 and all returning vendors will open on 12/8/28 at 8:00 am 

We will be registering through NCADA AMP this year. Returning Vendors will receive a link in your inbox from the NCADA AMP mailman that will prompt you to set up your NCADA AMP vendor account with a password.  Once your account is confirmed, you can complete your conference forms, choose your booth (Renaissance Hotel  Grand Ballroom Floor Plan below), and pay for your registration through your account. You will receive a link to the Renaissance to book your room once you register to attend and pay your registration fees. Due to the size of the Grand Ballroom, Vendors are limited to only one booth. This is first come, first served. 

We will open registration to new vendors/exhibitors on Monday, 12/22/25

NCADA New Vendor Application Form

Reminder: Your booth(s) are not secured until you register and the NCADA receives payment.

We hope you will join us and invest in our future leaders.
