Whether you’re looking for new products, fresh ideas or practical solutions to everyday challenges, the 2026 NFDA International Convention & Expo is where funeral service comes together.

Taking place October 25-28 in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Convention brings together thousands of funeral professionals from around the world for four days of education, networking and the profession’s largest funeral service exposition.

The Expo Hall features more than 300 exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations in funeral service. From management software and technology solutions to vehicles, merchandise, cremation equipment, memorialization products, financing options and marketing services, attendees can compare products side by side, ask questions of industry experts and discover new ways to strengthen their businesses.

Beyond the exhibits, the Expo offers opportunities to connect with suppliers, experience live demonstrations, explore new ideas and visit interactive NFDA exhibits, including the Remembering A Life consumer education initiative, the Funeral Career Hub, Pursuit of Excellence showcase and the NFDA Lounge. The always-popular Funeral Face-off trivia competition also returns, bringing plenty of fun and friendly competition to the Expo floor.

Of course, the Expo is just one part of the Convention experience. Attendees can earn continuing education credit through dozens of educational sessions, hear inspiring keynote presentations, reconnect with colleagues from around the world and participate in special events throughout the week, including the Welcome Party at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and the Service of Remembrance.
