Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register if I am an Exhibitor?

Despite already paying for your exhibitor badges in the booth purchase process, you will also need to use your company specific code to register the 2 or 4 attendees that will be onsite.

Where can I get my code to register?

This code should have been emailed to you after you signed your Exhibit Booth Contract; if you cannot locate, email Exhibitors@distributorconvention.org.

Where can I find the Exhibitor Service Manual?

Freeman’s Exhibitor Service Manual and Kit can be found HERE.

How can I book housing?

You will receive a housing link in your registration confirmation email. Rooms are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. To take advantage of the discounted NAFCD + NBMCDA Annual Convention rates, be sure to book your reservation on or before September 30, 2024.
