Past Attendees Say...

"Conversations at the Spring Conference were so easy and fun. I never felt on the sidelines. Everyone was welcoming and eager to share. The NAMT staff was very interested in engaging in dialogue. I walked away with a list of great ideas to implement and mostly appreciate knowing that there are many others out there going through similar circumstances."
-Aaron Young, Managing Director, The Fulton Theatre

“This spring's conference has affected what we're doing here so much.  We've revamped the home page and established a Facebook presence with a fan base that grows daily.  All of a sudden our formerly sleepy little home page is getting several hundred hits a day, and the new press is coming out of the woodwork.  What we learned in Atlanta was really valuable.”
