According to NAMA Boot Camp committee chairman, Matt Coniglio, Fastline, this year’s event has the highest attendance since it was started 5 years ago. He says there are quite a few non-members and the attendees are with a very diverse group of companies and organizations. I know I spoke with several last night who are getting their first look at NAMA.

This year’s program features a producer panel which is kind of a mainstay element of the program. It’s taking place right now and I’ll have an interview with one of them posted later.

Matt says the committee that put this program together has for the most part been the same members for a couple of years now. He says they make a great team and that it’s a real team effort putting this event together. Matt would like to see the program be a great learning experience for more than just newcomers to agricultural marketing.
