The National Sailing Programs Symposium (NSPS) is the premier event for sailing education in the United States. 

NSPS is the only conference of its kind that brings together program directors, instructors, volunteers, parents and industry representatives to share and learn best practices with one another about running, maintaining and improving sailing programs.
