The article summarizes the data regarding national conventions obtained from the questionnaires distributed to the delegates during the 1963 Council for Exceptional Children convention held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The information is viewed as essential in future planning for these conventions. The summarized responses stated that national conventions should be held yearly and should continue to be scheduled as is the current practice. There should be a balance between speakers and the fields of interest should be adequately covered. There were also several recommendations made by the respondents stating to always have a panel, to confine research papers, to plan more demonstrations and others.

The article reports that the Council for Exceptional Children and the education section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will co-sponsor two sessions at the AAAS 129th Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on December 26,1962. Both sessions which was organized and will be chaired by Jack W. Birch, will be held in the North Garden Room of the Bellevue Stratford Hotel. Each will consist of only two papers to allow more time for presentation and discussion. The one dollar registration fee includes admission to all meetings, exhibits, and evening programs.
