Recap: 2017 NAA Education Conference and Exposition

Phew – what a show! With over 10,000 attendees, 60 valuable education sessions, speakers like NFL CMO Dawn Hudson, co-anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America Robin Roberts, and the most decorated Olympian of all time – Michael Phelps, the 2017 NAA Education Conference and Expo in Atlanta did not disappoint.
Since we first sponsored NAA three years ago, Updater has come quite a long way. With over 1 million units live on Updater, we sent our largest team to date in order to meet with our wonderful clients and partners, keep the pulse on emerging industry trends, and spread the good news about Updater.
For the first time ever, Updater sponsored the much anticipated 3 Dogwood Night concert, hosted this year at Atlanta’s famed Tabernacle concert hall. Thanks to our fellow co-sponsors ePremium, Mohawk, Interstate, Brook Furniture Rental, BetterNOI, Dogwood Building Supply, Package Concierge, ALN, ForRent.com, Arbor, Valence PM, and AAPCO Group for a memorable night for over 2,500 of our industry friends.
