All participants, staff and crew, and all volunteers are paying for their own hotel/accommodation and transportation to get to the conference site.

With a conference theme of Ayurveda Beyond Wellness, we have attempted to invite a diversity of high-quality presenters as speakers who can address both professional practitioners of Ayurveda in the US community about the practice of Ayurveda as medicine and who can also address the legal, cultural and social uniqueness of practicing Ayurveda in America.

The main conference will begin at 3:00pm. You are also welcome to attend the pre-conference events that start after breakfast.

We are planning to end the conference at 6pm on Sunday, knowing that many people need to be home for work on Monday. There are plans for a post-conference workshop which will be optional.

If you would like to have your own table as a vendor, sign up today as a vendor at https://ncamusa.org/become-a-sponsor/.

The registration fee does not cover the pre-conference or post-conference intensives.  Those fees are being finalized and will be posted very soon.

The conference committee is planning a table for authors who are speakers or registered participants with scheduled book signings and sales at the NCAM mega-conference. We already have ten authors who are preparing to bring their books.
We invite you to register for the conference and be ready to bring 15-20 copies of your book that you will autograph at a table.

The conference will have two yoga teachers on both Saturday and Sunday mornings from 7:00 to 8:00am, one teaching low-impact chair yoga and breathwork and one leading a morning yoga practice.

Yoga mats will not be provided, so please bring your own. Additionally, it’s a good idea to carry ponchos or an umbrella for unexpected rain.

The Westgate Lake Resort is just a 20-minute drive from Orlando International Airport.

Neither the resort nor the conference management offers shuttle services. Opting for a cab or an Uber is the most convenient choice. However, we’re actively working on coordinating shared rides among conference attendees and are seeking volunteers to provide some rides.

We will be serving vegetarian meals throughout the conference days.

We regret that we do not provide snacks either within or outside the conference hall due to our agreement with the resort management. However, you’re welcome to purchase packaged snacks and enjoy them outside the conference hall.
