How can I register for the Show?
In an effort to reduce our environmental impact you can register for our event by following the directions on the Registration Form. You may not register by telephone.
What is the cost of admission?
For Fall of 2012 there will be a $25 registration fee, and our Seminar Series will be available to all attendees on a first come, first served basis for FREE. We will also be offering a Preview Networking Reception with all of our Exhibitors and Speakers the Monday night prior to the Show for $65. Note: you will still need to provide proof that you are a valid and operating business to register.
Why do you need my business license or EIN number?
Because we need to be able to prove that attendees are authorized wholesale buyers, and are licensed to do business. This is a BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS trade show, and is NOT open to the general public to attend.
Can students attend?
We are working with our exhibitors to determine the best way to allow students to attend the show. We will be informing faculty and posting here once we have determined how to proceed with supporting the next generation.

NO! You need register only once to attend both days- however, please save your name badge.
