Students, get ready for the largest gathering in the country of court reporters, captioners, and videographers at the 2025 NCRA Conference & Expo in Minneapolis, Minn., July 24-26. This isn’t just an event; it’s an opportunity to “elevate your impact” by building connections, gaining new insights, and kickstarting your career. Registration is still open.
Here are some tips to help you plan out your time at Conference:
- Download the NCRA Event Mobile App (available after July 17) and set up your profile with Future Stenographer behind your name! Be sure to upload a photo as well as contact info and social media information. Use the app to plan your session schedule and connect with others – start networking!
- The Expo Hall is full of the latest and greatest products. Talk to the booth staff, learn about new products, and take home some SWAG.
- The Student Breakfast and Welcome is Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. Yes, it’s early, but worth it! We will provide a Conference overview and give suggestions on the best sessions for students to attend: Fake It Until You Make It – Discover Your Inner Extrovert, Quality Mentoring: Making the Most Out of the Student/Reporter Mentoring Relationship, and Depositions 101. Students are welcome to attend all Conference sessions, however. See the full schedule.
- After breakfast let’s head to the Premier Session together to hear Keynote Speaker Kristi Johnson, RPR, who was forced to make a difficult decision after she was shot in the back. She had to dig deep to find the courage and resilience necessary to rebuild her life and reshape her future
- Awards Luncheon Saturday. The luncheon ticket is included in your student registration.
- Saturday night is the Members Recognition Gala – “Step into the NEW Roaring Twenties!” The student registration covers all networking activities except the Gala, but keep your eyes open for an announcement on the mobile app advertising extra tickets to the event for students.
We look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis!
