Upcoming Convention Details
The 2024 TDEA Convention is January 10 through January 13 at the Houston Marriott Marquis
Online convention registration opens September 15, 2023 and closes November 15, 2023. We recommend that members register for convention as soon as registration opens since there is a maximum number of spots available for All-State, and we typically fill up within a few weeks. In addition, TDEA offers incentives for paying balances in full, and you won't want to miss out on them. Registering early ensures you can get your invoices to your financial clerks so TDEA can receive payments by the incentive deadline.

Important Payment Information
***REMINDER***
TDEA must receive an actual payment paid in full by November 15th to be eligible to receive the complimentary Recognition Luncheon and Banquet ticket. Please note that a Purchase Order is not an actual payment, and TDEA must receive the district check by the deadline.
TDEA is not able to combine or split invoices. As a result, members who will need All-State billed separately will need to register without the All-State package for the initial invoice and then will need to modify the registration to add in the All-State package to the original invoice.
