The 2024 NFDA International Convention & Expo delivered an enriching experience, offering more than 30 dynamic education sessions and five pre-convention seminars. Curated by the NFDA Convention Education Task Force, these sessions provided actionable insights addressing both immediate business needs and future trends in funeral service, enabling funeral service professionals to apply their new knowledge when they returned home to their funeral homes. Select sessions were recorded and are available for purchase in the NFDA Store!
