Association and events
fall networking seminar
The Fall Networking and Seminar is an NPSA event held in the fall, apart from the spring conference. It offers speakers, meals and time to meet other members in person. The 2026 event ran October 4 to 6 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Why it matters
NPSA's Milwaukee page lists presenters, a welcome reception and an evening party at the Harley-Davidson Museum. The page shows rates for members and non-members and a guest rate. Members got an early bird discount. The seminar gives operators a chance to learn and to build contacts between the annual conferences. A common mistake is to think it is the same as the conference. It focuses on speakers and networking. As of today, NPSA has not announced a fall 2027 seminar on the pages we checked. Check the events page for new dates.
