Save the date for the first National Accordion Collaboration* Convention! * Collaboration is two or more organizations working together to achieve a goal (Wikipedia).

The National Accordion Association ( www.accordions.com/naa ) is pleased and excited to announce their 2025 Convention, again in Lewisville, TX, from March 13 – 15, 2025 at the Hilton Garden Inn – 785 SH 121 – Lewisville, Texas which is 8 miles North of DFW Airport.

2025 Collaborative Members are:
* National Accordion Association, Inc.
* International Western Music Association
* Happy Music Center Organization

This convention will feature a first-time collaboration with the International Western Music Association and the Happy Music Center. In order to further promote interest in the accordion as a complete, flexible, portable instrument, we are inviting and encouraging the nonaccordion groups to include one or more accordions in their rehearsals and performances. Accordionists are encouraged to join the bands and combos.

As always the convention invites other nearby accordion associations to participate. Also, as always, you are invited whether or not you are in a local group. In the coming weeks, we will be designing, workshop sessions that include the musical expertise of the collaborative groups.

We will have a swap shop with new and used accordions, repair expertise, medical professionals to provide advice concerning care of the hands, sessions on general musicality, and practical performing tips. So mark your calendars and stay tuned for further updates.

Registration will not be available until November 1, 2024
Hotel Reservation Closing Date: Monday, February 17, 2025
