NAAUD Annual Meeting in Grapevine TX April 27-29, 2026 

Registration Opens January 2026

April 29 - May 2, 2024

NAAUD is excited to announce Grapevine Texas, Embassy Suites Hilton DFW Airport North as the location for our 2026 Annual Meeting!

Located just minutes from the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Grapevine is both convenient and brimming with activity – from outdoor adventures at Lake Grapevine to bustling, historic downtown to massive resorts that are a vacation in themselves. Not surprisingly, Grapevine is also known for its wineries and tasting rooms – the city name was inspired by the region’s native wild grapes – so you can count on great wine and fabulous food to be part of the experience, too.
