ASAP 18^th Annual National Training Conference  - A Resounding Success!

The 2026 NTC evaluation results were extremely positive: attendees consistently rated presenters in the mid-to-high 4s on a 5-point scale, while the qualitative comments show great appreciation for knowledgeable presenters, practical examples, interaction, and in-person networking. Three themes dominate the positive comments: 1) Practical expertise and real-world application; 2) Engaging presenters mattered almost as much as subject matter; and Networking and face-to-face interaction were major sources of value. The NTC drew participation of over 300 access professionals!
