Conference & Summit

Return: Get Involved


Our annual National Conference is the premiere gathering of string educators in the United States, offering opportunities to connect with our community of educators, earn professional development hours in sessions tailored to string teachers of all types, attend engaging keynotes from leaders in the field, attend performances and clinics of the National Orchestra Festival, and network with industry manufacturers, insurance providers, publishers, institutions, and other exhibitors.


Our annual Virtual String Teachers Summit expands our yearly offerings, providing the same opportunities to connect, learn, and grow but in an entirely new format - synchronous online AND available recorded content available to registrants through the end of December the same year!
