The Associate Purchasing registration is intended for employees of non-retail companies attending the conference in a purchasing capacity.

If you are attending in a sales capacity, please refer to the Exhibitor Registration page.
Registration is COMPLIMENTARY for all qualifying Retailers. In addition, there is a special program offering through which NACDS may provide a travel subsidy for designated individuals of qualifying companies, who participate in the “Meet the Market” program. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please contact Andrew Klapmust at 703-837-4628 or aklapmust@nacds.org.
The NACDS Total Store Expo is open to the trade only. To attend as a non-member buyer, you must provide identification to qualify your business, and separate identification to qualify each individual employee from your store or company. Only companies which operate verifiable brick and mortar retail stores or a qualified consumer e-commerce website are eligible to attend as Chain/Retailer Buyers. All other buyers please refer to the Associate Purchasing information under Registration Fees above.
Please provide TWO forms of company and TWO forms of employee identification. (Please note that acceptable employee identification must be provided for each registrant.) We reserve the right to request additional business identification if deemed necessary.
If you previously attended the NACDS Total Store Expo as a buyer, you are most likely pre-qualified; however, NACDS reserves the right to disqualify and cancel as warranted any registrant, regardless of past attendance.
Please read and familiarize yourself with the Total Store Expo Rules & Regulations prior to registering for the conference.
