Exhibitor Tradeshow Services Company
Need additional services, furniture rental, electrical service, shipping large quantities and more? Freeman can help. (Then add the exhibitor kit). Which reminds me what about the internet form. I think that is not through Freeman, but through AV. We need that up there too. You might want to pull out the electrical form and post separately as well.
Food Samples Distribution is allowed. Exhibitors may distribute snack-size food samples during Exhibit Hall hours at no charge. Snack-size samples are individual, small portions, such as yogurt in a 6 oz. container, mandarin oranges in a snack-size bowl, a single snack bag, a single serving of whole grain snack crackers, or a small orange juice. Submit the food samples you are planning to distribute here.
Cold Storage: If you are planning to ship items that are in need of cold storage, please contact us at partnerships@cacfp.org. Cold Storage items will be shipped directly to the hotel.
Additional Booth Staff or Attendees
Exhibitors all receive one complimentary attendee with their booth packages. If you would like to bring additonal staff, you may choose from the following:
Exhibit Hall-Only Pass ($250): Give you full Exhibit Hall access and lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. You may not attend any of the educational portion of the conference with this pass.
Regular Attendee (current rate): Exhibitors may purchase full attendee registrations. To do so, visit our registration site. We recommend this option for exhibitor staff that want to network beyond the Exhibit Hall and attend any of the sessions in the schedule.
Exhibitor Lead Retrieval Program
We have revamped our lead retrieval program. Exhibitors who donate a door prize item will be given an opt-in attendee list. Exhibitors will need to provide a gift card of $50 or $100 denomination (Visa, Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart).
Gift cards can be delivered to the registration desk at the conference, and NCA will conduct the drawing and publicize the winners.
