NAMSS offers multiple session types to match your learning style and comfort level.
Pre-Conference Workshops
Pre-Conference workshops provide in-depth training or skill-building learning. Through in-person instruction, attendees spend the full day gaining skills, working through case studies, and participating in group discussions. These sessions require separate registration and take place prior to the start of #NAMSS26.
Keynote Sessions
This year’s event will feature three keynote sessions, each designed to inspire, inform, and offer a forward-looking perspective on the future of the profession. Stay tuned — more details coming soon!
Concurrent Education Sessions
The NAMSS concurrent sessions will include lecture presentations, panel discussions, and roundtable conversations, and offer the unique opportunity to ask questions. In addition, each session will provide Tell Your Boss Takeaways, which will be a document with top insights from their presentations, so your whole team can benefit from your attendance.
Interactive Concurrent Sessions
Back again this year, NAMSS' Interactive Concurrent sessions provide more ways for you to engage with your peers and expert presenters. Select concurrent sessions will feature new formats to heighten engagement, increase networking opportunities, and foster a collaborative experience for those willing to dive in headfirst with us. Session formats could include game-show formats, debates, and in-depth scenario conversations.
Skill Booster Sessions
Returning this year, Skill Booster sessions are a series of short, high-energy sessions focused on professional growth and career development. These bite-sized sessions are designed to help you strengthen essential workplace skills like leadership, communication, time management, and more. Whether you’re looking to level up in your current role or prepare for the next step in your career, these sessions will give you the tools and confidence to move forward with impact.
