The 2023 PMEA Annual In-Service Conference will be held at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in the Poconos, April 19-22, 2023.
PMEA celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2023. We embrace our vibrant past and look ahead to our diverse future. In the 1930s, the “33” vinyl record was developed and as PMEA began to grow so did the way we listened to and documented music. Dance along with us as we offer concerts and sessions to inspire all our members in both tried and true ideas and innovative new ideas that will continue on For the Record.
We are thrilled to welcome The Girl Conductor – Maria Ellis – and Cameron Jenkins, founder of Full Potential Leadership as this year’s keynote speakers. The Thursday Evening Concert will feature the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own” and Chorus. Be sure to check out the tentative conference schedule below.
