What’s New this Year?
This year’s conference will be different in many ways. We have changed the agenda this year. The main conference is June 22-24, 2021. We have set aside Monday June 21 as a NSA work day with all the committee meetings schedule on Monday with no other content.
Awards Luncheon – this year we will recognize our award winners with the new Awards New Awards Luncheon on Wednesday at noon.
We have added the new NSA TALKS sessions to the show floor. These will be an 18 - minute format information session in the vein of a Ted Talk at the bottom of the hour when the show floor is open.
Also new is the DEMO DEN which will be held at the top of the hour on the show floor. This will be short Demonstrations by vendors in the hall of a new or innovative product. These will also run about 18 minutes in length.
You will see a difference in our on-site execution due to COVID 19 restrictions. We will share several “Know Before You Go” emails to registered attendees to make sure you have up to date information on the evolving situation in Phoenix.
