Maximize Your Booth’s Potential: Use Your Complimentary Customer Registrations

Your exhibit package includes complimentary registrations designed to bring your top retail partners directly to your booth. We strongly encourage you to use these to invite your customers, but if you won't be using them, please don't let them sit idle. You can donate unused registrations back to the show so that the host organizations can use them to invite additional buyers to the event.

    SCAM ALERT!

     

    FMI/Meat Institute has received several reports of third-party hotel scammers targeting our exhibitors and attendees. These hotel booking scammers have no affiliation with FMI, the Meat Institute, or the Annual Meat Conference. Any company requiring full prepayment should be viewed with extreme suspicion. If you are solicited by any group other than FMI/Meat Institute or the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center for AMC, please contact events@meatinstitute.org.
