Please note that Exhibitor Alerts will be sent by email updating you on important issues or changes that might occur as the conference approaches. Please ensure that we have the correct contact information for your company. We look forward to working with you to ensure a successful show.
Beware of Unauthorized Solicitations
There has been a rash of unauthorized companies soliciting our attendees and exhibitors related to various services, from housing to attendee lists. Please do not respond to their emails or calls. Do not provide them with credit card information. You are welcome to contact SNA at any time to confirm the status of a vendor. Unfortunately, SNA has no control over the false claims that these unauthorized vendors make and is not able to assist in resolving issues that arise when our exhibitors enter into agreements with unauthorized companies.
