Convention's Most Anticipated Event

The Tabletop Exhibit & Reception offers suppliers an invaluable opportunity to display their innovations to the industry's top decision-makers and helps renderers stay abreast of developments in the field. Unlike large trade shows that span over days, this focused event places all emphasis on the exhibitors.

STEP #1

Register As An Exhibitor By Oct. 10th

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

Tabletop Exhibitor Fees

Sponsor$500
Non-Sponsor$600

Order Extra Badges

No one will be admitted into the Tabletop Exhibit without a Convention badge. If your company has additional employees who will only be attending the Tabletop Exhibit and Reception (and are not registered for the convention), you will need to check the box “Exhibit Badge Only” listed under Tabletop Exhibitor Fees on the Registration Form and provide those employees’ name(s). Additional name badges are $100 each.

Deadline

Only Registration Forms received with full payment at NARA headquarters by October 10, 2023 will be eligible to exhibit at the 2023 NARA Annual Convention's Tabletop Reception & Exhibition.

Liability

It is agreed that the North American Renderers Association, Inc., its officers and its staff, and the management of The Ritz-Carlton Naples will not be liable to the exhibitor for any loss, damage or injury to his/her property contained in such exhibits, or injuries to his/her person, his/her agents, employees, or other persons, no matter how sustained from fire, theft, accident, or other causes. All claims for such loss, damage, or injury are being expressly waived by the exhibitor.

Cancellation

For refund information, see the Annual Convention cancellation policy. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to ensure that written refund requests are received on or before the dates indicated by the policy.

STEP #2

Plan Your Exhibit

Exhibit space will consist of a standard 6’ × 30” draped table, two chairs and a sign with your exhibit number unless special arrangements have been made. Any exhibits wider than 6 ft. must be approved. Equipment may not be brought into the exhibit space or any other area of the venue unless approved by Marty Covert and the Hotel Conference Services. If your exhibit is a pop-up, please indicate its size on the registration form.

Select Your Booth

You'll be contacted to select your exhibit space. Our top tier sponsors (Diamond tier+) will be given priority choice of location at the Tabletop Exhibit & Reception. Once your choice has been confirmed, you'll receive your assigned booth number.
