2011 NFDA International Convention & Expo

To help make the 2011 NFDA International Convention & Expo a success for you, our exhibitors, we provide a variety of free promotional opportunities to strengthen and increase your company's presence before, during and after the show. These are excellent, proven ways to maximize your exposure and enhance your company's show participation.

Customizable postcards that you can print yourself! Postcards are a great way to remind prospects and current customers of your exhibit and participation at the 2011 NFDA International Convention & Expo in Chicago. With the Microsoft® Word files provided, designed for the AVERY® postcard template, you can easily customize and print right at your office! The Exhibitor Postcards Kit (zip file) includes instructions plus full color and black and white versions of the postcard templates.

How creative are you? Funeral directors attending the convention seek out innovative products to help their businesses and new ideas for serving families. Take advantage of the 2011 Innovation Award competition to highlight your unique products or services and stand out from the crowd in Chicago! All entries must be submitted no later than June 15, 2011. 2011 NFDA Innovation Award finalists will be recognized and the winner announced at the NFDA International Convention & Expo Opening General Session on October 24 in Chicago.

This unique opportunity generates extra interest and publicity for your company and creates a lasting impression for attendees, helping you stand out from your competition.
