Each April the NADD hosts an annual convention.  Typically held Tuesday through Thursday, this is an opportunity for NADD members and others involved with Diaconate Formation and Supervision to come together in prayer and fellowship while hearing speakers’ presentations on timely topics for the Diaconate.  Each year the Convention is hosted by one of the Arch/Diocese Members, coordinated by the NADD Vice Chairman and the Director of the host Diocese.
​
The Director’s Workshops, offered before the “official” opening of the Convention, gives an opportunity for new Directors to hear from tenured Directors offering tried and true techniques and methods to help them in their efforts as they get accustomed to their position.  The following two days offer keynote presentations or breakout sessions, (usually geared toward Formation or Diaconal Ministry), by Nationally known presenters based on the theme of the Convention.
