About the Conference

The North American Masonry Conference (NAMC) is the leading technical conference for masonry researchers, engineers, architects, and industry professionals. Held every four years by The Masonry Society (TMS), the NAMC brings together the international masonry community to present peer-reviewed research, advanced design practices, and foster collaboration.
