The 2025 OMEA Professional Development Conference will take place in Cleveland from 9:30 AM, Thursday, February 6 – 3:00 PM, Saturday, February 8 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland and nearby hotel properties. The full schedule will be available through the guidebook app in December, 2024. Traditionally, the OMEA PDC is the third largest music conference in the United States with nearly 300 sessions presented by nationally recognized master teachers demonstrating research-based, best practices in the field of music education.

In addition, over 30 performing ensembles will present concerts showcasing the talents of Ohio’s students.

Included in the registration fee is access to the largest music trade show east of the Mississippi. Displays and demonstrations by nearly 250 exhibitors from across the United States allow teachers to see the new products available in the music industry.

With a few additional steps, teachers may use their conference experience to earn CEU’s and graduate level continuing education credit (additional expense) for their licensure requirements.
