I'm not a NAWLA member but would like to attend 2026 Traders Market.

Non-members are welcome to attend the 2026 Traders Market, provided they meet the same eligibility criteria required for NAWLA membership. Attendance is open to qualified wholesalers, manufacturers and service affiliates that align with NAWLA membership requirements, creating expanded opportunities to learn, network and do business alongside industry peers. If you are not a member but would like to join, apply for membership here. The deadline to submit a complete application is October 16, 2026. Applications are not considered complete until your application has been endorsed by two current NAWLA members, one of which must be a Wholesaler member.

My company is a member, but the system will only let me register at a nonmember rate.

It’s likely that your company’s membership needs to be renewed before the system recognizes your account as a current member and applies the member registration rate. Please check your membership status or renew your membership, and then try registering again. If the problem persists, please reach out to info@nawla.org.

How do I book a hotel room through NAWLA's block?

The link to reserve a hotel room through our block is sent in the registration confirmation email. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to registration@nawla.org to receive the link to book your hotel room.

What's the difference between a full attendee and guest registration?

The guest registration is intended for spouses or other non-industry participants. The guest registration allows for access to the evening receptions. For access to the exhibit hall and educational sessions, please register as a full attendee.
