The National Restaurant Association has launched attendee registration for its 2010 Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show and International Wine, Spirits & Beer Event (IWSB). A special "early bird" online-only discount is available for restaurant and hospitality industry professionals who register before Dec. 1, 2009.
The 2010 NRA Show will be held May 22-25 at McCormick Place in Chicago. IWSB 2010 will be held in conjunction with the NRA Show on May 23-24. Attendees may register online at www.restaurant.org/show or www.winespiritsbeer.org.
"It's never too early to start planning your business moves for next year, and one of the smartest moves a restaurant industry professional can make is to attend the NRA Show," said David Gilbert, chief operating officer of the National Restaurant Association. "No other industry event offers more new product launches, networking opportunities and trend watching than our show."
General qualified attendees registering for IWSB will automatically be registered for the NRA Show. However, those registering for the NRA Show must register separately to attend IWSB; separate qualifications, registration and badges are required for IWSB.
Before Dec. 1, registration for the NRA Show is $30, and IWSB registration is $85. Between Dec. 2 and April 16, 2010, NRA Show registration is $40 and IWSB registration is $95. After April 16, registration fees increase to $80 for the NRA Show and $135 for IWSB.
Members of the National Restaurant Association receive complimentary registration for the NRA Show and a discount rate of $55 for IWSB when registering any time. Registration for NRA Show 2010 and IWSB 2010 exhibitors and news media will open later this fall.
