Call for Proposals: 16th Annual National Arts Marketing Project (NAMP) Conference

The 16th Annual National Arts Marketing Project (NAMP) Conference on Fueling Change will take place November 1114, 2016 in Austin, Texas. Americans for the Arts invites you to submit a proposal for this internationally recognized conference dedicated to providing cutting-edge arts marketing and audience engagement strategies. With continuous shifting trends in the landscape of arts marketing and audience engagement, arts organizations must go beyond Embracing Change. Instead, they need to desire change, seek it out, work for it, and invest in it; they need to Fuel the Change. Deadline is March 31, 2016.

Across the nation, arts organizations and the communities they serve are in a constant state of evolution. As arts marketers, how do we successfully maintain organizational relevance while building sustainability in our rapidly changing world? How can we meet Change with a responsive, creative, and flexible approach? How can we capitalize on Change to fuel inventive and unconventional thinking, forward-thinking solutions, and a willingness to experiment?

NAMP attracts perspectives and insights drawn from those working in the performing, visual, and literary arts as well as those from state and local arts agencies. As the only USA-wide, cross-disciplinary meeting dedicated to teaching the latest trends in arts marketing and engagement, NAMP is designed to focus on skill-building. The Conference aims to provide attendees with concrete tools and strategies that have immediate practical application with measurable outcomes.
