We are just over a month away from the 2019 NASC Symposium. No, you don’t need to start packing your bags just yet, but you do need to start planning out what you want your week to look like. We just released the education sessions for the 2019 Symposium in Knoxville, Tennessee from May 6-9.

If you are part of a destination looking to attract more events to your city, you may consider sitting in on sessions like “Developing your Destination’s Sports Tourism Program” on Tuesday or “Bidding on NAIA Events” on Thursday.

For the sales and development managers, there are also sessions for building brand awareness, partnership strategies, and valuing sponsorships.

There are more than 25 education sessions planned for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so there is something for each member of your team coming to the Symposium. Check them all out here.

Also, if you registered for the CSEE course at the NASC Symposium, put on your crisis mode caps. This year’s session will tackle Crisis Management. How can your team be prepared for such circumstances? Alex Plaxen, President and Founder of Little Bird Told Media, will be lead the session to help explain what a good communications plan looks like in a crisis situation. Learn more about the CSEE session here.
