Attendees:
Attendees are defined as “any company attending the market that is not exhibiting.” An attendee that qualifies for BUYING Privileges is a qualified, licensed, retailer who retails directly to the consumer.
Badge Categories:
Choose carefully. Some categories require a registration fee and are noted. Buying privileges are for owners and managers only and is limited to two badges per shop. Special circumstances may be submitted with market registration for consideration.
Shop owners wishing to register employees may do so, however they will be considered a guest of the shop and will not be given buying privileges. When registering employees, list your Federal Employer Identification (F.E.I.) number.
Non-buyers will be given red color coded badges. Buyers will have green color coded badges.

Market Show Guides

This year we are adding more useful sections to our Show Guide. We are continuing the personal planner pages to help you keep track of your appointments during the weekend. The Guide also has a floor plan showing the location of the exhibitors and a listing of each company participating in Friday Night's Meet and Greet. Each shop will be given one Show Guide. Shops registering multiple employees will be given a maximum of two Show Guides per shop at no charge. Additional show guides may be purchased for $5.00 each while they last.

Want to receive your Show Guide ahead of time so you can start making your "game plan" before arriving in Nashville? Show Guides can be mailed directly to you for a postage and handling fee of $5.00 each. The Show Guides will be mailed on January 24th (two weeks prior to market). To take advantage of this service, please fill out the appropriate section on the Market Registration Page. Guides not mailed will be held in your market registration packet.

Leave messages for your associates and arrange timely meetings.
A Message Board will be located in the
Embassy lobby near the NMI Registration area.
