Exhibitors receive the Exhibitor Success Guide in January which is a planning tool used to prepare and announce an exhibitor's presence at NRA Show 2010. It provides valuable strategies and information about getting an exhibitor's products and services seen at the Show.

Exhibitors will be able to order NRA marketing materials (i.e., postcards, stickers) at no charge through the Exhibitor Information Manager beginning in January. You will need your company's username and password.

What time can exhibitors get on the floor during Show days?

Exhibitors are allowed on the Show floor during the following times if wearing an exhibitor* badge:
