NAME 2020 Annual Meeting

Unfortunately, after much deliberation and discussion by the NAME leadership, the in-person NAME 2020 annual meeting in Denver has been cancelled, as the health and safety of all attendees, of Denver citizens, our offices, and our practice cities is paramount.  Fortunately, we have decided upon holding the annual meeting in a virtual on-line format.  The Denver meeting chair, Laura Knight, along with NAME’s Professional Meeting Planner, Tara Snethen, and the EPP-program committee, chaired by Brian Peterson have shifted their focus to a virtual meeting to be held Friday, October 16th and Saturday, October 17th, 2020.  NAME plans on returning to Denver in the near future for our annual meeting in 2024.
