Welcome to the NAMD 2026 Fall Conference

We are excited to welcome our sponsors and the Medicaid community to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center | Wednesday, October 21-23, 2026.

Your 2026 sponsorship is a key part of the organization’s mission to support the state Medicaid Directors and strengthen the Medicaid program. It also offers many tangible benefits to sponsors including:

Access to key decision-makers: The NAMD Fall conference brings together Medicaid Directors and senior staff from across the country. Recent conferences have attracted 48+ Medicaid Directors and 200+ state senior staff among 1,500+ total attendees. This provides sponsors with unparalleled access to health care industry leaders who make crucial program decisions.

Brand exposure: Sponsoring the NAMD Fall conference provides significant brand visibility for your company. We regularly welcome senior state Medicaid leadership from all 56 states and territories. Sponsors are featured in conference materials, have their logos prominently displayed throughout the venue, and have the opportunity to showcase their solutions in our newly expanded exhibit space at the Gaylord National.

Networking opportunities: In addition to senior state Medicaid leadership, our conferences consistently welcome nearly 200 C-suite attendees. Sponsoring the NAMD Fall conference provides valuable networking opportunities through multiple functions including the opening reception, evening event, breakfasts, lunches, and networking breaks—all designed to foster meaningful connections with decision makers.

Education and insights: Our diverse attendee base includes representatives from managed care, health insurance, pharmaceuticals, information technology, specialty health services, telehealth, transportation, dental and many other sectors. Gain firsthand knowledge about the latest trends, innovations, and challenges affecting Medicaid at both the state and federal level, allowing your organization to better align its solutions with the evolving needs of the program.
