The 2026 NCRA Conference & Expo in Bellevue, Wash., is almost here, and the National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) is once again bringing you three great giveaways. This July you could take home a Pacific Northwest-inspired tech and treat basket, a brand-new Stenograph NexGen writer, or an MZ Wallace crossbody purse. The best part? You don’t need to travel to Bellevue to win.
Tickets are on sale now, and every entry helps fund NCRF’s ongoing programs, scholarships, and grants that support the court reporting, captioning, and legal videography communities. It is a perfect opportunity to jump into the pre-conference buzz, try your luck, and maybe score some cool stuff.
“Cheers” to Tech and Treats basket
This year’s “Cheers” to Tech and Treats fundraiser offers a curated collection of premium wines, innovative technology, and everyday favorites. Inside you’ll find a Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 50-year anniversary bottle and a Sea Smoke Chardonnay, paired with two 20 oz. NCRF Angel cups. The basket also includes a reMarkable tablet bundle — complete with tablet, folio/case, and eraser pen. Rounding out the prize are two $50 Starbucks gift cards. ($950+ value)

The bag includes a magnetic flap closure, interior zip compartment, and multiple pockets for organization. Adjustable strap options allow for both shoulder and crossbody wear.
