Professional Associations Conferences 2025

Provincial Conference – Friday, October 24, 2025

On the fourth Friday in October of each year, NSTU members from around the province are invited to attend professional development conferences organized by our Professional Associations. The list of program offerings demonstrates a breadth of curriculum-based and other professional development opportunities that are designed to ensure Nova Scotia's students benefit from the latest pedagogical advances.


Why do you need to enter your NSTU Username and Password to register for a Professional Associations Conference this year?
The NSTU Membership Registry helps us stay connected with our members about important union information. Your NSTU login confirms your membership, ensuring that registration for the 42nd Annual Professional Associations Conference Day—organized by our dedicated full-time teachers and specialists and Professional Association volunteers—remains a benefit for NSTU members first. If you’re unsure of your credentials, please contact webaccounts@nstu.ca.

Registration for non-NSTU members will begin at noon on Friday, October 3rd.

Pourquoi ai-je besoin de mon nom d’utilisateur et de mon mot de passe de la NSTU pour m’inscrire?
Le registre des membres du NSTU nous permet de rester en contact avec nos membres au sujet d’informations syndicales importantes. Votre identifiant NSTU confirme votre adhésion et garantit que l’inscription à la 42e Journée annuelle des associations professionnelles—organisée par nos enseignants et spécialistes à temps plein ainsi que par les bénévoles des associations professionnelles—demeure un avantage réservé en priorité aux membres du NSTU. Si vous n’êtes pas certain de vos identifiants, veuillez communiquer avec webaccounts@nstu.ca.
Les inscriptions pour les non-membres du NSTU débuteront le vendredi 3 octobre à midi.


Access the Membership Registry to ensure your login credentials are up to date before the opening of registration!

Please contact the NSTU via telephone at 902-477-5621 or email at webaccounts@nstu.ca if you require assistance with the Membership Registry.
