WELCOME TO THE 34TH ANNUAL NAMIC CONFERENCE
The conference theme, “Building a Legacy: The Future is Now,” celebrates four decades of results that NAMIC, and so many others, have had on the cable and communications industry. “Collectively, we are building our legacy for future generations, one that will go down in the history books as a model of strength, determination, and perseverance,” said NAMIC President and CEO A. Shuanise Washington. “As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, this year’s conference is a time to reflect on our progress, embrace new challenges, and define a roadmap for the future.” The conference will include a host of informative sessions addressing some of the industry’s most pressing issues—from creating a pipeline for diverse leaders to advancing culturally competent marketing and programming. Sessions are divided into four daily content areas: • Tuesday: Teamwork, which includes a joint session with Women in Cable Telecommunications on “The Value of Mentoring: Lead, Launch, Legacy.” • Wednesday: Workforce, which includes sessions on “Workforce 2021: The New Normal” and “A Celebration of Legacy Building” awards ceremony honoring next-generation leaders and luminaries. • Thursday: Tech & Culture, which includes the popular Startup Pitch Competition, now in its fifth year. On Thursday is a new town hall meeting titled, “The Missing Pieces: Race and Relevancy in the Workplace.” CEOs will discuss ways to support diversity, access, and inclusion at every level within their corporations. • Friday: Future Leaders, which includes sessions on “The Masterclass: Making Space for the Millennial Leader” and “No Longer Silent: Investments in Social Activism.” The Future Leaders track includes sessions addressing issues concerning emerging leaders. General registration includes the Future Leaders track; attendees can also register to attend separately.
