The annual Tabletop Exhibit and Reception has become an NRA Annual Convention tradition. This much-anticipated event offers suppliers an invaluable opportunity to display their innovation and helps renderers stay abreast of industry developments.

Unlike large tradeshows that stretch out over days, this is a very focused event that places all emphasis on the exhibitors. It’s also the one opportunity a supplier has to have top rendering decision-makers in one room.

Registration & Exhibitor Rates

In order to be an exhibitor, there must be one fully registered attendee from your company for the duration of the convention.

Registration Fees

After September 23, 2011, all registration fees increase by $100.

Tabletop Exhibitor Fees
