Who from my company should attend the National Conference?

Distributors are highly encouraged to have a VP level or higher attend (key decision maker). Best practices have shown a purchasing manager or inside/outside sales person would also highly benefit from attending.
Suppliers are highly encouraged to have a VP level or higher attend.
Reminder: Points awarded in the IBC Rewards Program based on attendee title.

If I am a supplier or a distributor local to the Orlando area, do I still need to register for a hotel room?

No. If you are a supplier or a distributor local to the Orlando area, you are not required to register for a hotel room. For Supplier Partners: the conference registration form provides you with an option to purchase a conference-only pass.

What if I want to bring a significant other?

What if I want to stay in the hotel for additional nights?
