Convention 2025 September 16-18, 2025
The Funeral Directors Convention and Expo, hosted annually by the New Jersey State Funeral Directors Association, is almost here!
Join us from Tuesday, September 16 through Thursday, September 18, 2025, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City for a bigger and bolder experience than ever before. Our annual Convention has mastered the special blend of continuing education, networking events and exhibit opportunities, all in just three days.
Day 1 of the Convention, Tuesday, September 16, will feature General Session, the annual business meeting of the New Jersey State Funeral Directors Association where attendees can witness the ceremonial installation of new board members. Later, at the Exhibit Hall Opening Reception, you will be able to join your colleagues for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and walk the floor to see what is trending in the industry while enjoying complimentary beer, wine and light refreshments. Finally, you can wind down after a busy first day at the Funeral Directors Round-Up, where you have the chance to enjoy cocktails and catch up with other attendees.
Day 2 of the Convention, Wednesday, September 17, is packed with a mix of attendee favorites and exciting new featured events. Service of Remembrance is an important opportunity to honor NJSFDA members who have died this past year. Everyone is welcome to attend this personalized commemorative event to share memories with families and friends. Network Bridge will also return on Wednesday to foster the growth and continuation of the funeral profession. This annual event gives both funeral directors and potential interns a chance to meet, connect and find employment opportunities at a local funeral home. Later, Convention will feature a brand-new event: New Jersey Mortuary School Olympics. Watch as nine mortuary students are split into three teams to compete in funeral assignments and games to see who will take home the Mortuary School trophy. Finally, Wednesday will end on a high note with the late-night Convention Party, The Boardwalk Bayou. The party will blend live jazz music and NOLA-inspired cocktails while overlooking the scenic Atlantic City Boardwalk in our new venue, The Balcony at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
Day 3, Thursday, September 18 will feature complimentary breakfast for all attendees. NJSFDA Past Presidents and Executive Board members are invited to Past Presidents Brunch where they can join their fellow leaders for mimosas, brunch and conversation.
