Overall Conference Theme: New Horizons

Looking into the distance, the horizon marks the farthest point you can see. What lies beyond that is unknown—until you get there. What lies beyond your horizon? New opportunities? New challenges? New connections? A new horizon. The 2019 APMP NCA Mid-Atlantic Conference and Expo offers all of this and more. Opportunities to learn about best practices and new methodologies. A challenge to achieve APMP Certification. Chances to connect with colleagues and make new connections. Please join us, explore your options, and see what lies beyond your horizon.

This year’s conference has four program objectives:

  1. Aspire: Take aim for your future. Overcome challenges and obstacles. Translate your ambitions into actions
  2. Inspire: Recognize the value of our profession. Gain a passion for accomplishing meaningful outcomes in your work to contribute to your organization’s success.
  3. Rejuvenate: Regain your passion and drive to create quality outcomes. Remember your hard-fought lessons learned and commit to excellence in your profession.
  4. Learn: New ways, new techniques, new technologies that will translate into new best practices for our profession.

You may submit more than one proposed session, either in a single program objective or in different objectives.
