Your message or flyer will be inserted into the registration bag, which is given to all attendees at check-in. Please try to limit bag stuffer items to flyers or colored brochures to keep the integrity of the bag intact.
Available Only to Show Exhibitors and Sponsors.
NEW! Publication Bins
In an effort to lighten the weight of the registration bags and in listening to our survey comments- we have created the New NAILBA Pub Bins- an area where you can showcase your current magazine or newsletter in an area for all to see. The new bin will be located near the registration area in close proximity to the Exhibit Hall for maximum viewing and prime spot visibility. If you have a magazine or newsletter that you would like to purchase space for please take a look at the NAILBA 28 Publication Kiosk Information Sheet and download the NAILBA 28 Publication Kiosk Sign-up Form.
