The Education Minister Jan O'Sullivan will address the gathering tomorrow.
One of the items to be discussed at the conference is a motion from teachers in West Clare on class sizes.
It comes as new figures reveal one in four pupils are packed into supersize classes.
Members will vote on a commitment to reduce class sizes as 125-thousand primary school pupils are currently squeezed into classes of 30 or more.
