The National Alliance for Musical Theatre's two annual Conferences focus on business and artistic areas within the field of musical theatre, and provide opportunities for networking and relationship-building in a casual and friendly environment. Past Conference topics and themes have included examinations of marketing and technology, innovative fundraising techniques, customer loyalty programs, and the challenges and rewards of producing new and lesser-known works. The Fall Conference, in conjunction with the Festival of New Musicals, is focused on issues surrounding new works; the Spring Conference, in a different city each year, touches on business topics of interest to producers of all kinds.
Designed to be both educational and entertaining, the annual Conferences are opportunities for organizations of all shapes and sizes to interact, collaborate, and to share ideas.
Conferences are open to NAMT Members only, although non-members may be invited under certain circumstances.
 
UPCOMING CONFERENCES
The 2010 Fall Conference will be held in New York City on October 23 and 24. The 2011 Spring Conference will be held in San Francisco on April 1 and 2. Check back, or watch NAMT E-News for details.
