The 2024 Funeral Directors Convention and Expo is headed back to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City this year, featuring several revamped features and all the benefits that America’s most iconic boardwalk has to offer.
Held from Tuesday, September 17 to Thursday, September 19, the New Jersey State Funeral Directors Association’s annual event will provide attendees with plenty of educational and networking opportunities, as well as the Hard Rock’s unique atmosphere and attractions.
This year’s Convention party, called Yacht Rock Night, will feature a live band, so enjoy the company of your friends and colleagues on what is sure to be a memorable night. The Convention will also have expanded hours for the large Exhibit Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday of the Convention, giving you more time to explore the latest offerings in funeral service.
In addition, there will be VIP perks waiting for you when you join us in Atlantic City.
If you can’t wait to register for the Convention and Expo, you’re in luck. Registration for the event will open on May 2, with discounted prices available until 5:00 p.m. August 6.
