Registration & Housing Information

Badge Information

Each representative from your organization needs to have a badge to enter the Expo hall and any official event associated with the 2019 NFDA International Convention & Expo.

Three badges per 100 square feet of booth space are included with your exhibit and additional badges may be purchased at the registration desk. Please return your Booth Representatives Badge Form to NFDA as soon as possible.

Forms must be received by October 4.

Failure to return your Booth Representatives Badge Form by October 4 will result in forfeiture of your complimentary badges.

Badge Pick-up

We know how busy you are preparing for the Expo so we're giving you one less thing to worry about! Instead of mailing your badges in advance, all of your badges and event tickets will be ready to pick up onsite at the NFDA Exhibitor Registration Desk. If you prefer to receive your badges in advance and bring them with you to the show, we need to receive your Booth Representatives Badge Form by October 4 for processing.

Non-Exhibiting Suppliers

Special registration is available for Non-exhibiting Suppliers. NFDA classifies Non-exhibiting Suppliers as representatives of a manufacturer, vendor, dealer or distributor who hold the responsibility of business development, sales and/or marketing for an organization that has not previously exhibited at the NFDA International Convention & Expo. Registration requests must be approved by NFDA. Contact Business Development at 800-228-6332. Approved Non-exhibiting Suppliers understand that it is NFDA's policy to protect the exhibiting vendors and maintain the integrity of the show.

SUITCASING/UNAUTHORIZED SOLICITATION POLICY: Please note that while all meeting registrants are invited to the NFDA International Convention & Expo, any registrant who is observed soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, in another company’s booth, or in violation of any portion of the Exhibition Policy, will be asked to leave immediately. Additional penalties may be applied including denial of participation at future NFDA events.

Please report any violations you may observe to NFDA staff. NFDA recognizes that “suitcasing” may also take the form of commercial activity conducted from a hotel guest room or hospitality suite; restaurant, club, or any other public place of assembly. For the purposes of this policy, “suitcasing” violations may occur at venues other than the exhibition floor. NFDA must be informed of any hospitality suites, or other venues used for commercial activity in advance of its show, and expressed consent must be received prior to the event.
