2023 NASS Postponed to FEB 5th-6th
After receiving feedback from NASS speakers and registrants we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the NASS until February 5th & 6th2024. Many of our speakers and attends would not be able to travel during a government shutdown. This would reduce the in-person sessions and networking opportunities NASS participants value so much. The NASS is committed to the inclusion of representatives from industry, academia, and government. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may create for you, but we look forward to your participation in February.
