FAA Board of Directors Approves New Policies for Annual Trade Show

Suppliers who choose not to purchase a booth at FAA’s Annual Conference & Trade Show will still be able to attend the event under a policy proposed and voted on by the Product/Services Council and approved by the board of directors at a meeting in late January. Under the new policy, non-exhibiting suppliers will have two options for registration.

Plan E: Non-exhibiting supplier registration. This allows one supplier to attend the conference (education sessions) but not be permitted on the trade show floor and not permitted to distribute any informational materials to attendees.

Member early bird fee: $444
Member regular registration fee: $504
Nonmember early bird fee: $554
Nonmember regular registration fee: $614

*Register online for any of these registrations and save $30 off the listed fee.

Plan F: Non-exhibiting supplier registration with access to trade show. This allows one supplier individual to attend the conference with access to the trade show floor. However, the supplier will not be permitted to distribute any informational materials to attendees.

Member early bird fee: $995

Member regular registration fee: $1,055

Nonmember early bird fee: $1,105

Nonmember regular registration fee: $1,165

*Register online for any of these registrations and save $30 off the listed fee.

Name badges for non-exhibitors will be brightly colored for easy identification. Anyone seen distributing materials will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund. If exhibitors observe non-exhibitors violating the policy they will be requested to report it to show management (FAA staff).

In addition, only exhibitors who are members of the PSC will be eligible to be included on the trade show game card. Attendees visit booths listed on the game card and ask exhibitors to sign or initial the appropriate space. Completed game cards are then entered in drawings on the last day of the trade show for prizes provided by the PSC.
