Sponsors of this ground-breaking conference will have unparalleled opportunities to offer thought leadership and personal relationship building.

Join us “What NAPA offers is the ability for us to pull together a collective, strong message….we can say to Congress, and to the President, “This is what can make a difference.” And if we don’t, as an industry, drive that change from within, the fear is our politicians will force change upon us.”

— Joe Brummel, NAPA Member

“The great thing about NAPA, is that not only does it provide us with a voice in Washington, it also provides us with business intelligence …tools…and best practices.”

— Timothy Rice, NAPA Member
