BEFORE CALLING or emailing ABOUT THE 2026 CADA CONVENTION - MAYBE ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED HERE:

My Convention registration is not paid - what do I do?

If full payment cannot be received by February 27, a completed Credit Card Guarantee Form must be submitted by that date via email (info@cada1.org). If the form is not submitted by Friday, February 27, you must bring a completed form onsite or complete one at the event in order to attend. CADA’s Credit Card Guarantee allows us to securely hold a card on file for up to 30 days while awaiting an alternate form of payment. If payment or communication is not received within 30 days, the card on file will be processed. To avoid completing a guarantee form, you may submit payment by credit card before February 27, by logging into your account or calling CADA Central at 831.464.4891. Anything after February 27th must be done onsite, as our staff will be traveling to the Convention.

Submit the Credit Card Guarantee Form by February 27 or bring payment onsite.

✔️ You may bring a check onsite for payment.
🚫 Do not mail checks after February 20, as they may not arrive in time.

I NEED TO CANCEL - WHAT DO I DO?

Because it is past our cancellation deadline, no refunds will be issued at this time. ALL refund requests need to be emailed to info@cada1.org, and they will be reviewed after the convention.

I NEED TO SUB - WHAT DO I DO?

All substitutions will be processed onsite. The new attendee can simply show up and look up the attendee's name, and substitute the information before printing their badge. There is no need to contact our office beforehand. We will process all of these onsite.

I NEED TO REGISTER - WHAT DO I DO?

We will be taking all new registrations onsite. Attendees can go to the on-site registration desk to register. Please note that they will need a form of payment, a credit card or a check. No Purchase Orders.

I NEED TO EDIT MY REGISTRATION (I.E., ADD THE RUN OR A PRE-CON) - WHAT DO I DO?

We will be taking all registration changes. Attendees can go to the on-site registration desk to register. Please note that they will need a form of payment, a credit card or a check. No Purchase Orders.

What is the CADA State Convention?

The CADA State Convention is the largest event in the nation for Activities Directors. The CADA organization is the number one organization in the United States for teaching and developing leadership skills that students will use for the rest of their lives as they learn to serve their schools, communities, and families. The convention will provide you with the tools and resources necessary to do just that. Click here for a detailed 2026 workshop session schedule. The CADA/CASL Events app will have all the workshop descriptions, but should you want a printout, you can print them in advance.
