The International Polka Association (IPA) is located in Chicago, Illinois and dedicated to the study and preservation of polka music and the cultural heritage of Polish Americans who have made this music tradition part of their heritage.

This convention developed into the International Polka Convention which was presented each succeeding year in Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo, New York.
