Conference Information

Please visit the state conference section of the PA-TSA website to view the middle school and high school event schedules for the 2023 State Conference. Prior to conference registration closing on March 15, students and advisors should check this schedule to ensure they are selecting events that do not conflict time-wise. Times are not flexible, unless specifically noted. It is imperative that students show up for events on time or risk potential disqualification. If a time conflict exists, please consult the event coordinator a minimum of one hour prior to the event. While we will try to work with you, a solution may not be possible. Students arriving late for an event, without prior permission, will not be allowed to compete. Students with schedule questions should first consult their advisor. If the question still remains, advisors should reach out to Lauren Lapinski, state conference director. llapinski [at] patsa.org The state conference planning team reserves the right to make changes to this schedule up until the start of the conference. Any changes will be posted on the PA-TSA website and in the official conference program.

The Pennsylvania Technology Student Association (TSA) Leadership Conference is quickly approaching. The purpose of this letter is to invite you to be a part of our state leadership conference as an event judge. We depend on community and corporate support, and your expertise works to strengthen our commitment to technological literacy. Read on to learn how to sign up to judge in-person @ Seven Springs for the 2023 PA-TSA State Conference.

The hotel reservation forms for the 2023 State Conference are now available on the state conference section of the PA-TSA website. Read on for a few things of note…

Thank you for a great state conference. Attached are the results.

For all CAD events (MS CAD Foundations, HS CAD Architecture, and HS CAD Engineering), access to the internet will not be provided nor will students be able to set up their own hotspot to access the internet. All programs necessary to compete in the event must be downloaded and available in an offline version prior to the start of the event. This is in compliance with the competitive event guidelines provided by National TSA. 

Masks and face coverings will be recommended but not required at the 2022 PA-TSA State Conference. This change reflects current COVID-19 data, practices of school districts across the state, and recommendations of reputable sources. It will be up to each participant - students, advisors, judges - to determine if or when to wear a mask. Masks will not be provided by PA-TSA. 

Advisors, please make sure you are including t-shirt sizes on your registration in order to ensure your students receive desirable sizes. If sizes are not included, your chapter will still receive shirts but they will be whatever we have left. At present, only about 1/3 of registrations include shirt sizes. Thank you! 

Please read the full message for the latest on the conference schedule, READ-READ-READ document, sign-ups and semifinalist postings, testing, and conference programs.

Please carefully review this important information regarding COVID-19 and the 2022 State Conference.
