The First National Accordion Association (NAA) Collaboration Convention will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn 785 SH 121 – Lewisville, TX from March 13-15, 2025. www.accordions.com/naa/
This hotel is 8 miles North of DFW Airport.

The 2024 NAA convention information is being removed from the NAA website to make room for the 2025 National Accordion Collaboration Convention information. Collaboration is two or more organizations working together to achieve a goal (Wikipedia).

2025 Collaborative Members are:

• National Accordion Association, Inc.
• International Western Music Association
• Happy Music Center Organization

This convention will feature a first-time collaboration with the International Western Music Association and the Happy Music Center. In order to further promote interest in the accordion as a complete, flexible, portable instrument, we are inviting and encouraging the non-accordion groups to include one or more accordions in their rehearsals and performances. Accordionists are encouraged to join the bands and combos.

As always the convention invites other nearby accordion associations to participate. Also, as always, you are invited whether or not you are in a local group. In the coming weeks, we will be designing, workshop sessions that include the musical expertise of the collaborative groups.

There will be a swap shop with new and used accordions, repair expertise, medical professionals to provide advice concerning care of the hands, sessions on general musicality, and practical performing tips. So mark your calendars and stay tuned for further updates.
