Dates: The 2026 NEA-Retired Annual Meeting will be held June 30-July 1 in Denver, Colorado. Doors will open each day at 9:00 am and the meeting will begin at 9:30 am on June 30. For information about the meeting, please email [email protected].

Location: The NEA-Retired Annual Meeting will be held at the Hilton Denver City Center. The rate is $202.00 per day, plus all applicable taxes for single/double rooms. The hotel's check-in time is 4:00 pm. Check out time is 11:00 am. The hotel will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate early check-in.

To book your room, please click HERE. Guest room reservations must be made on or before June 8, 2026 in order to receive the group rate or until the room block reaches capacity. After this date, or once the room block is filled by members/delegates, guestrooms will be made available at the best rate. Due to the limited amount of rooms available, we encourage Retired delegates to reserve only one room under your name. Booking and holding rooms that are not needed prevents other delegates from making reservations.

All delegates must register online before arriving in Denver. Delegates will still need to 'check in' for the meeting in order to  receive credentials to enter the meeting.

Retired members, who are not delegates, and all guests must register onsite at the Hilton Denver City Center.

Delegates who pre-register and request Accessibility Services for the NEA Representative Assembly will be able to pick up materials when checking in for the Retired Annual Meeting at the Hilton Denver City Center.

NEA-Retired member Marilyn Warner
Through my local, state, and national involvement on various committees, I get to see the enthusiasm of active educators and hear about the projects they’re working on. It’s important to stay involved and help keep public education alive. As a retiree, I have time to work during the day and help the association.
