Welcome to the 2025 Statewide IDSA Convention:
“Forty & Flourishing: Elevating Student Activities for Decades.”
Visit us in 2025 at Drury Lane in Oakbrook, IL.
40 Years of Activities
Here is an overview of what your experience will look like in 2025:
March 10-11, 2025
This convention allows for incredible networking and interaction among activity directors, administrators, sponsors, teachers, and anyone else involved in student activities. The informational and interactive sessions that take place Monday evening and throughout the day on Tuesday are invaluable in reenergizing activities at your school as well as giving you new and exciting ways to improve your activities programs and make your life easier at the same time! Please plan on attending the night of social events as well, so that everyone can leave the convention with a network of colleagues and friends for support!
Register for the convention here (Early bird pricing is now available until February 14th, after which the price will increase to $350)
