What Is NAMT?

The National Alliance for Musical Theatre, founded in 1985, is a not-for-profit organization serving the musical theatre community. Our members, located across the US and the world, are some of the leading producers of musical theatre in the world. They include theatres, presenting organizations, higher education programs and individual producers.

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 2024 NAMT Spring Conference will take place April 3-5,in-person in Oklahoma City and online via the Webex Events application and website.

The 2024 Spring Conference is a wonderful opportunity to connect and network with leaders in the theatre field 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 both Marketing and Fundraising (what we call the Full Patron Experience) 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.

Additional Opportunities

The 2023 Fall Conference in NYC.

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.
