This framed photograph was taken in 1880, the site of the first NAD conference in Ohio. That was 130 years ago. The 50th Biennial NAD Conference will take place this July in Philadelphia, PA. One-hundred and thirty years is a long time. During the 1880 conference, the Statue of Liberty didn't even exist!
The 2010 NAD Conference has a lot to offer. The conference theme is "Celebrate Our Heritage, Invest in our Future!" Combo Registration includes Opening Ceremonies, College Bowl, and the Miss Deaf America Finals. The city of Philadelphia is a historic location and a fastastic destination. This an excellent location for the 50th Biennial NAD Conference, which will only happen once in your lifetime. Want to be a part of that history? Register today and join us!
