Get ready to reconnect, recharge, and rethink campus retail with your peers from across the Northeast! The Northeast Campus Stores Association (NCSA) Fall Conference is your can’t-miss opportunity to gather with independently operated educational retailers and vendor partners for two days of learning, networking, and inspiration—all tailored specifically to the needs of Northeast stores.

Whether you manage a large university store, a small campus shop, a K-12 school store, or support the industry as a vendor partner, the NCSA Fall Conference offers something for everyone. This regionally focused event features a robust lineup of educational programming, peer-led roundtables, general sessions, and real-time strategy sharing, all designed to help your team stay ahead of retail trends and solve today’s campus store challenges.

But it’s not just about the sessions—this is your chance to reconnect with familiar faces, build new relationships, and tap into the collective experience of other store teams navigating similar environments. Networking is built into every part of the experience, from casual hallway chats to structured discussions and shared meals.

Don’t miss our vibrant vendor trade show, where you’ll meet local reps, explore new products, place orders, and take advantage of exclusive show specials and raffles. For vendors, this is a powerful opportunity to get in front of both existing clients and new accounts, showcase your offerings, and build lasting relationships in a single, targeted setting.

We’ll be gathering at the Marriott Albany, a convenient, central location for campus stores and vendor partners throughout New York and New England.

Make plans to attend—and bring your team. Because at NCSA, great ideas don’t just get shared—they take root and grow.
