Annual Conference
The NSA hosts a conference in the summer every year in the first week of July in cities throughout the United States. These cities included Scottsdale, AZ in 2010, Fort Worth, TX in 2011, and St. Petersburg, FL in 2012. The next conference will again be in Scottsdale, AZ in 2013. The conference begins with a two day research symposium with presentations and workshops by experts in the field, which is then followed by a five day general conference which features workshops led by the experts and by volunteers, as well as a keynote. In 2011, the keynote was presented by David Seidler, screenwriter of The King's Speech.

Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or conference:
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
