(Updated March 7, 2022)

For the health and safety of everyone, NACDS requires that all Total Store Expo attendees be fully vaccinated. NACDS has partnered with HealthShield by 42Chat to collect vaccination information and store it privately. Each registrant must complete the NACDS Vaccination Verification Form and provide a mobile number, and that of their spouse/companion if attending. This form will be sent directly to all registrants at a later date. Following the completion of this form, registrants will receive a text message to the mobile phone number(s) provided with instructions on submitting vaccination information. *Failure to provide this information will prevent your attendance at the 2022 NACDS Total Store Expo.

*Medical Exceptions
If a bona fide medical condition prevents you from being vaccinated, you will only be able to attend if you provide negative PCR COVID-19 test results taken 72 hours prior to the date of when you pick up your meeting credentials at the conference, and you upload those results to HealthShield prior to your arrival. By providing a negative test result in lieu of proof of vaccination, you certify that you are unable to be vaccinated because of a bona fide medical condition. Anyone who does not provide either proof of vaccination or negative test results taken within 72 hours before arrival, will not be permitted to attend.

NACDS reserves the right to alter, modify, and/or limit registration to the Total Store Expo based on recommendations made by public health officials and its own judgment concerning health and safety.

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 ONE form 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.
