All events with in-person attendance will have virtual offerings, and if, as an attendee registrant you must cancel, please refer to our event registration/confirmations pages (Registration Policy webpage).
We are excited about what Nashville has to offer us with an in-person industry experience while incorporating appropriate health and safety precautions. See you there!
COVID-19-Related Measures
NAMIC continues to actively monitor COVID-19 information from the most relevant, authoritative, and responsible sources. Outlined below is what you can expect as we make NAMIC’s Annual Convention a positive, enriching and safe experience.
- NAMIC will follow the venue’s policy on mask wearing and other forms of PPE.
- Attendees/Guests are not currently required to wear masks at the Gaylord Opryland venue. Mask wearing is optional.
