The National Education Seminar (NES) is our signature yearly event for professionals who manage personal property and assets for federal, state and local governments, contractors, colleges and universities and private industries. This three-day seminar offers an array of education, networking opportunities, exhibits, and so much more! Education sessions and panels address topics including, but not limited to, Compliance, Disposition, Inventory Management, and Professional Development. All sessions are planned with the intention to cover introductory, intermediate or advanced levels of complexity in property management.
We’re excited to announce that NES 2026 will shift to a streamlined three-day format, based on valued feedback from our NPMA community. This update is designed to make your NES experience more impactful, providing the same high-quality educational content, continuing education credits, and outstanding networking opportunities.
