Violators of these policies will be ejected from the show and charged the single-booth rate $6,299 for members and $8,174 for nonmember, which must be paid prior to registering as an attendee, exhibitor, or sponsor at any future NPA conference or other event. Please report any violation you observe to show management.

Definition of “Suitcasing”
Suitcasing at the NPA Convention & Expo is defined as any activity by one who has not paid an exhibition fee (i.e., purchased a booth) where the activity is designed to solicit or sell products or services to other exhibitors or attendees without authorization by NPA to engage in such solicitation. Suitcasing can occur by those who are registered as attendees or by parties misrepresenting their business or entity relationship to NPA.

Make sure you are starting from an npaconvention.org webpage when you begin hotel reservation. Never book from an email that does not come from an weareparking.org email address.

Unless you have initiated the communication, please do not provide anyone with your personal information, especially your credit card number.
