NADCA provides its members with many opportunities to discuss significant issues with their peers. All management levels will benefit from annual events such as the 2011 Die Casting Congress & Tabletop, die casting's pre-eminent venues for presentations and discussions of industry technology and management issues.  Every three years the Congress includes the world's largest Exposition of die casting technology at the 2012 Die Casting Congress & Exposition.  

In other annual conferences, top management has the opportunity to discuss pertinent issues with their peers at the annual CEO Conference and Plant Management Conference. These conferences provide discussion forums for personnel in specialized areas.  NADCA also offers periodic workshops, seminars and regional group/chapter meetings.
