Greetings, brothers in Christ,
We are pleased to introduce the 2026 NDICE Conference! This event marks the 50th anniversary of the annual conference, and is a wonderful opportunity to complete 20 hours of continuing education while engaging in meaningful discussions with fellow Deacons and their wives.

- Bishop J. Mark Spalding (Diocese of Nashville)
- Bishop Jeffrey Walsh (Diocese of Gaylord)
- Deacon Greg Gitcher (Sneakin' Deacon)
- Deacons Stephen Miletic and Mark Erste (Institute for Diaconal Renewal)
- Deacon Dan Lowery
- Deacon Larry Tranel
- General Kevin Chilton (Astronaut)
The current planned schedule is available below.
We encourage you to register for the 2026 Conference as soon as possible. While online registration is encouraged, there is also a printable version that can be mailed in with payment. Register by April 1, 2026 and receive a $50 discount!
