LAMA/ATA Meeting
The LAMA/ATA Corporate Partnership Program is offered exclusively to active members of the Allied Trade Association. It provides ATA members with an opportunity to market directly to LAMA members throughout the year without the expense and time consumption of a trade show and the irregularity of requests for corporate donations during the year.
The 2027 LAMA/ATA Annual Meeting takes place April 12–15, 2027, at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista in Orlando, Florida. Visit the official meeting website for details.
