Boardroom Bulletin: Why the 2027 NATM Convention Is Worth Being There

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate most about being involved with NATM is the opportunity to spend time with others in our industry. There’s a lot we can learn from one another, and some of the most valuable conversations happen when we’re together at the Convention. 

That’s why I encourage you to make plans to attend the 2027 NATM Convention & Trade Show, taking place February 15–18 at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee. Whether you’re interested in the technical forums, educational workshops, the trade show floor, or simply catching up with industry friends and making new connections, there’s a lot of value packed into those few days. 

With the NATM Industry Awards, the Convention is also a great opportunity to recognize the people and companies helping move our industry forward, while giving attendees a chance to bring back new ideas and information that can benefit their businesses.  

If your company is looking for ways to increase its visibility, I’d also encourage you to take a look at the available sponsorship opportunities. Sponsorships help support the programs and experiences that make the Convention valuable for everyone, while giving companies an opportunity to be more involved in the event. 

At the end of the day, the Convention is about more than what’s on the schedule. It’s about the people you meet, the conversations you have, and the ideas you bring back with you. I’ve always found that some of the best value comes from simply being there and making the most of the opportunity. I hope you’ll join us in Nashville, I’m looking forward to catching up with familiar faces and meeting many of you there.
