2026 Activism & Training Expo (ATX)
Join us December 7–9, 2026, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for NATCA’s third Biennial Activism and Training Expo (ATX).
This year’s conference will be held Dec. 7–9 at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Each day brings members together around the issues shaping our union right now, from the legislative landscape to labor relations and staffing, with a daily briefing, a keynote, and a panel discussion. Breakout classes and open forums throughout each day give members the chance to chart their own path and dig into these topics together.
Every day also includes time with the National Executive Board, so members can hear directly from leadership and ask questions.
NATCA National covers your hotel room and tax in full when you share with another dues-paying member for the covered nights of the event. Single-occupancy rooms are covered at 50 percent. Airfare reimbursement is also available for eligible facilities under the NATCA Expense Reimbursement Policy.
