NAMA is providing an opportunity for you to share a presentation with the NAMA community via webinar.

Webinar topics must be both cutting edge and of current interest. Case studies showcasing strategies and results are also popular with members.

In addition to the opportunity to engage our community, webinar presenters receive recognition through pre- and post-promotion via the NAMA website, e-News and social media feeds.

If you’re interested in learning more, follow this link for additional information. But don’t let too much time go by; the deadline to submit is November 15.

Presentations submitted are in consideration for the 2019 calendar year.
