About The SPRING CONFERENCE
The 2022 Spring Conference in Toronto — and online!
“The NAMT team continues to be an inspiration. You guys are so consistently creating meaningful, useful opportunities during this time (well, always, but EVEN in this time). I was impressed with the breadth of offerings at the conference and festival and the sense of community that was fostered in the digital sphere.”
– Elissa Adams, Theater Latté Da
The 2023 NAMT Spring Conference will take place March 29-31. We will gather in-person in Chicago, IL and online via the Webex Events application and website.
The 2023 Spring Conference is a wonderful opportunity to connect and network with leaders in the theatre industry from both the commercial and non-profit sectors. This conference will offer a unique opportunity to know the people responsible for funding the evolution of the musical theatre art form!
This Conference will focus on topics of Development and Fundraising and is expected to be attended by nearly 150 theatre professionals in person and online. As a sponsor, you will have direct access to the staff of our member organizations around the world. Those in attendance will be the lead decision makers at their respective organizations and sponsoring or exhibiting at a NAMT conference provides you with access to specific individuals interested in working with you.

Every Fall in New York City, over 600 industry members gather to see presentations of eight new musicals over two days at our Festival of New Musicals. This is followed by the Fall Conference, where our members and invited guests will discuss the opportunities and challenges in producing new work and other issues relevant to the industry.
Sponsor and Exhibitor opportunities in the Fall are similar to those above. Options are available for exhibitors to join us for two days, at either one event or the other, or two days at each. In addition, advertising is available in the digital Festival Program, a full-color attachment with embedded links given to all attendees.
Details on supporting our 2023 Fall events will be available in the summer. Please contact Development Manager Alana Roberts at alana@namt.org or (212) 714-6668 x16 for more information. Special rates are available if you commit to sponsoring both Fall and Spring events!
Advertising is available year-round in our News & Notes and New Works News, which are sent to over 1,000 of our members and Festival alumni writers monthly. For more information please contact Membership Services Director Adam Grosswirth at adam@namt.org.
