Exclusive Access to SAMA Preferred Executive Symposia
– SAMA’s Executive Symposia are an opportunity for SAMA corporate members to host and participate in one-day events that allow the SAMA community to come together. You get to select the topic and have your team — and even customers — in the room to pick the collective brain of SAMA’s corporate members. We can invite experts from the SAMA community to participate as speakers. You do not need to have all the answers around your chosen topic — it is simply a conversation amongst dozens of your peers, and the exchange will inevitably be rich. Alternatively, you can highlight your company’s best practices and be the featured speakers to showcase your company’s thought leadership in SAM.
