Exhibitor Information
Looking to boost sales and meet real buyers?
The 2011 NFDA International Convention & Expo is THE place to meet real buyers and boost your sales. A collaborative effort with the Cremation Association of North America (CANA), this event will attract more buyers and a wider audience of deathcare providers than ever before. KAVOD, the National Jewish Independent Funeral Directors group is also holding their meetings in conjunction with this event. Chicago is one of the most popular convention and destination cities in the country, so join us October 23-26, 2011, at McCormick Place.
The NFDA International Convention & Expo is one of just 40 participants and the only funeral service convention, selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Commerce's 2011 International Buyer Program (IBP). So, not only will you have access to thousands of buyers in Chicago, you'll also be participating in the IBP, which will be promoted and marketed to potentially draw hundreds of qualified buyers from all over the world.
IBP benefits include:
- Global promotion
- Access to hundreds of current international trade leads
- Hands-on export counseling
- On-site International Business Center, where your company can meet privately with prospective buyers
To participate in the IBP Program, complete the Exhibitor Data Form.
You’ll see the buyers who are looking for cutting-edge products and services for eco-friendly funerals and burials, funeral home operations, pet services, cemeteries and much more! NFDA is now leading the way for eco-conscious firms with its new Green Funeral Practices Certificate program. Plus, with CANA and KAVOD members in attendance, the opportunities only continue to grow.
