Since 2018, Culver-Newlin has hosted a one-day convention at the Disneyland Hotel where school district employees and school furniture manufacturers are invited to mingle and share ideas at the Happiest Place on Earth.

A large conference room filled with round tables decorated with pink and purple floral centerpieces, where numerous diverse people are seated, listening, and clapping. The room has high ceilings with a grid of wooden beams and dim lighting, with some walls displaying banners.

Throughout the day, snacks and treats are provided along with a character meet & greet from the Mickey Mouse & friends team. Raffle prizes are announced and can vary from classroom furniture to Disneyland tickets.
