The speakers: A first for the PYOP industry

NTM brings together the most dynamic group of speakers to ever be part of a PYOP event. The value, resources and guidance packed into these four days far exceeds your investment. After their sessions, speakers join us for meals, opening up deeper conversations you simply can't have in traditional conference settings. The small scale means genuine time with industry professionals and real discussions that continue long after you return home.
