First Newman Portal Symposium Concludes
The Newman Numismatic Portal Symposium presented a virtual cornucopia of numismatic content over a three-day period, August 28-30. Capably managed by Lianna Spurrier of Numismatic Marketing, this Zoom-based, online event featured over forty presentations on a wide array of numismatic topics, from ancient to moderns. Audience engagement was strong and nearly all sessions included spirited question & answer segments. Many thanks to the NNP Symposium presenters, who did considerable preparation on slide decks and related content. All presentations were recorded and will be made available on the Newman Portal shortly. We welcome suggestions for future Symposium offerings, which may be sent to

It was an excellent, well-run event. Congratulations to all involved - it wasn't easy to pull this off. I gave one talk myself earlier today and tuned in for many more. These last three days were the closest I've come to having a coin convention experience since before the coronavirus hit. Many excellent and sometimes thought-provoking presentations. We'll have to be patient, but once post-production is complete the videos will be available for viewing of the NNP site.
