The 2025 NEA Representative Assembly will be held on July 2 – 6, 2025 in Portland, Oregon.
There will be NO virtual option to attend this year. This year will be all in-person in Portland.
More details to come as they are made available by NEA.

Hotel Information:
The Wisconsin delegation hotel will be the Canopy Portland – Pearl District Hotel. We have negotiated a rate of $ 189.00 plus taxes in a group room block. This for a single/double hotel room with a $20 charge for additional guests above 2 people per room.
The room block expires on June 6 so please make sure to make your reservations by that date. We are recommending that all delegates stay at the Wisconsin delegation hotel because we have signed a contract and need to fill our room block at the hotel. In this contract, the Canopy is not allowed to sell rooms at a rate less than our negotiated rate so this should be the best possible rate for the Canopy Hotel during our stay.
Please use this link to make your hotel reservations….
If you have any special requests, please call the hotel directly at (971) 351-0230
