One of the ways we seek to accomplish that goal is to treat any exhibitor at a NAACO conference as a partner. Participating exhibitors are treated as “sponsors” of our Association. Benefits vary depending upon the sponsorship level but include exhibit space, complimentary registrations for representatives (full benefits of conference registration include admission to sessions and specified meals), and inclusion of sponsor information in conference materials. The greatest sponsor benefit is the unfiltered access to conference attendees. The Opening Night Reception is designed specifically for attendee interaction with company representatives. The rich benefit to our members is access to a wealth of information from industry resources. Exhibit Space A standard exhibition booth package includes one 6’ table with box drape and two chairs. Power will be supplied to booths if requested on the initial application by the deadline. Additional amenities can be ordered directly from the hotel.
