Past Conferences

NAMAC’s National Conferences bring together creators, thinkers, policy makers, administrators, and funders to hear the most current thinking about the field’s future opportunities, to create a national platform for the media arts, and to strengthen our networks. Structured around one or more key theme areas, each day allows all who attend an opportunity to hear, to participate, and to chart our future together.
