From an energizing Welcome Party to interactive activities on the exhibit floor, the Traders Market updated schedule is designed to prioritize what matters most to our members: meaningful conversations, quality connections, and real results. NAWLA members come to Traders Market to do business, so we’re providing as much time as possible for you to connect with your business partners by adding additional exhibit hall hours across the event, including the entire second day of the event.
See the schedule below to learn more about this year's updated format!
Please note: All activities will take place at the Kansas City Convention Center. This schedule is subject to change and all of the times currently listed are in Central Daylight Time (CDT).
Fresh Features. More Floor Time. Bigger Impact.
