2022 NASWA SUMMIT

The 2022 NASWA SUMMIT reached record breaking attendance with close to 800 registrants! Attendees experienced three days of inspiring speakers, informative, interactive breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with colleagues from around the country. Thanks to all who participated!

We asked attendees to tell us what they liked most about the conference. Some of their responses were:

"I really enjoyed how you organized the breakout sessions in recommendation of what your focus is with the colored boxcars. That was very clever and helpful. Also, I LOVED the activity you guys picked to go to dinner at the Wrigley stadium. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'll always remember that."

"The variety of sessions and their relevancy to the audience, whether it was UI, Legal, LMI, Communications, IT, etc."

"The opportunity to hear what other states are doing with programs, technology and resources."

"Opportunities to network with others."
