The Annual Conference
“Fun and stimulating” is how one attendee described the annual conference held by NCHE in the late spring of each year. Bringing together historians, teachers, college and university faculty, and museums/libraries/archives, the annual conference is one of the best professional learning experiences available for history educators.
