NGAT Conference
Our 66th Annual NGAT Conference will be held at the Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria on March 27-30, 2025.
“The theme for the conference is UNMASK THE POSSIBILITIES! The mask we wear is not a limitation, but an opportunity. By unmasking, we unlock our true potential, creativity, and the boundless possibilities that come with it. Each of us holds the power to reshape our journey when we embrace our unique strengths, talents, and ideas. Behind every mask, there’s a face—a true self waiting to be seen. The theme is a call to action to shed those layers and reveal the authentic person within.”
