STEAM Power! Creative Products that Fuel Creative Education

When: Tuesday, October 13th at 3:00 PM ET
Speakers: Charlecia Joy, Frank Trice & Edouard Andre-Hessig

 
Art education is changing as STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Art, and Math) focused initiatives continue to take hold.  There are more opportunities to explore technology, culture and a host of content integrations...all of which translates into new product opportunities.  Join us for a lively panel discussion with Charlecia Joy of Stapledon Arts, Frank Trice with Educators Resource, and Edouard Andre-Hessig of ArtVenture, all of whom are innovators who are at the front lines of how creative products are helping to shape learning and teaching in the arts!

Kaleidoscope Session 2 — From Questions to Answers: See the AI Toolkit in Action

When: Tuesday, October 20th at 3:00 PM ET
Speaker: Steve Robinson, Creativity Consulting
What happens when you can ask industry data a practical business question and get a useful answer in minutes?
In this hands-on session, we’ll demonstrate the AI toolkit introduced in Session 1. Using Kaleidoscope art-and-creative-materials research, we’ll enter copy and paste prompts, review the results, and show how AI can help retailers, brands, and other NAMTA members analyze information and turn it into better business decisions.

Are You Ready to Rock the Golden Quarter?

When: Tuesday, October 27th at 3:00 PM ET
Speaker: Georganne Bender
The Golden Quarter is coming and it’s not the time to wing it! For many retailers, the final months of the year can deliver 25–30% of annual revenue – that’s a whole lot of selling packed into a very short window. The retailers who win won’t be the ones scrambling in November, they’ll be the ones who planned, prepared, and started early.
Join Georganne Bender for a fast-paced, idea-packed look at how to make Holiday 2026 your best selling season yet. You’ll learn how to set key areas of your sales floor to sell, holiday marketing ideas that get noticed, how to create impulse and add-on sales opportunities, ideas that build in-store traffic, plus quick tips to give customers plenty of reasons to choose your store over the competition.
Get ready to plan smarter, merchandise better, market harder, and sell more. The Golden Quarter waits for no retailer!
