2026 NCRAAO Conference
The 2026 NCRAAO Conference
Join us for the 2026 NCRAAO Conference in Dickinson and Medora, North Dakota!
We’ll kick things off with Golf Hospitality on the evening of Monday, August 10th, followed by a tee time at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, August 11th, at the breathtaking Bully Pulpit Golf Course in Medora. Tuesday evening brings us back to Dickinson for our President’s Reception at 6:30 PM, setting the stage for a strong and engaging conference week.
Our educational lineup is outstanding and will take place on Wednesday at the Astoria Hotel, capped off with our Conference Banquet that evening. Holding the banquet mid-week allows us to add even more education on Thursday, August 13, before heading to Medora for an unforgettable finale—touring the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, enjoying the iconic Pitchfork Fondue, and wrapping up with the legendary Medora Musical before everyone heads home.
Good Morning America’s ‘50 Weeks in 50 States‘ visited the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora! If you would like to see more about the TR Presidential Library and Medora, click this link to watch the Video.
