The National Alliance for Musical Theatre invites you to Washington, DC for our 2010 Spring Conference - A Class Act: Developing Your Audience Through Education and Community Outreach.

This Conference will focus on approaches to education and outreach programs from all angles, with NAMT members and other leaders in the field. Attendees will have an opportunity to see Little Shop of Horrors at the historic Ford's Theatre and tour the recently reimagined Lincoln Museum, plus ample time to network and socialize.

The Conference sessions will be held at the "beautifully sophisticated" Hotel Palomar, a Kimpton hotel in Washington's historic and vibrant Dupont Circle. We have secured a room rate of $135 per night (plus 14.5% local tax), the lowest rate for a NAMT conference in 10 years!

We look forward to welcoming you to the nation's capitol in March!

The NAMT Spring Conference is open to NAMT members in good standing and invited guests. If you are not a NAMT member and you are interested in attending, please e-mail Membership Director Adam Grosswirth.
