The NCAATG regularly holds two conferences per year. All AATG members and prospective members are welcome to attend these conferences. They provide an excellent opportunity to meet with a cross-section of colleagues from the state of North Carolina to discuss topics of mutual interest. For non-members, they are a chance to meet with fellow professionals and weigh the benefits of membership.
