Professional Development Conference The 2022 OMEA Professional Development Conference (PDC), held in Cleveland, will take place from February 3 to February 5 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland and nearby hotel properties. Traditionally, the OMEA PDC is the third largest music conference in the United States with nearly 300 sessions presented by nationally recognized master teachers demonstrating research-based, best practices in the field of music education. In addition, over 30 performing ensembles will present concerts showcasing the talents of Ohio’s students. We look foward to a return to an in-person format for 2022! The OMEA PDC partners with the Technology Institute for Music Education to provide every teacher in attendance with access to clinics and demonstrations of the latest music education technology. Included in the registration fee is access to the largest music trade show east of the Mississippi. Displays and demonstrations by nearly 250 exhibitors from across the United States allow teachers to see the new products available in the music industry. With a few additional steps, teachers may use their conference experience to earn CEU’s (nominal additional registration expense) and graduate level continuing education credit (additional expense) for their licensure requirements.
