The North American Masonry Conference (NAMC) is a forum for the exchange of scientific, engineering, architectural, construction, evaluation, and repair information on masonry. The conference includes technical papers and sessions, panel discussions, and other methods of information exchange. The conference is now held every four years (up through the 8th NAMC in 1999 it was held every three years), and the most recent NAMC, the 10th, was held in St. Louis, Missouri from June 3-6, 2007.

• The 11th North American Masonry Conference will be held in Minneapolis Minnesota from June 5-8, 2011.
