The countdown is on for the 6th Annual NAAHP Conference. We’re excited to be in New York City this year for three days of networking and discussion on diaspora economics.

This year’s sessions are packed with real-world advice and tips you’ll be able to start implementing as soon as you’re back from the conference. Plus, there are over 14 breakout sessions this year, so you can customize your experience. When you buy a ticket to the conference, you’ll receive our post-conference session takeaway materials. That’s a huge value for money.

There are so many great sessions on the agenda this year. We’ve picked a few of our most highly anticipated sessions so you can get a sense of what the conference will be like (and what you’ll miss out on if you don’t join us).
