The Conference Booth Program is the single best reason to attend the annual NIBA Convention. In just five hours, you can make contact with all of your major trading partners and get updated on all of their programs and products. Where else can you get that return on your money? The NIBA Conference Booth Program easily justifies the cost of the entire convention, and probably, the entire cost of your NIBA membership investment.
The last two years of having an expanded program providing a more trade-show like experience, was received with enthusiasm by all attendees, and we will continue in that format this year. No appointments are necessary. More than 70 manufacturer companies will be available for short business meetings to inform, make decisions, and to renew business relationships. Start planning your list of contacts now.
As always, you must be registered for the NIBA Convention to attend the NIBA Booth Program. You won’t want to miss this important event!
