*Lunch only option is for individuals staying for LUNCH ONLY (11:45 am - 1:15 pm).  If you are planning to attend the Tradeshow, you need to register for the FULL DAY.  (Special Note: Meeting planners that would like to attend the EXPO ONLY, please contact the FSAE Office to register at no cost!)

**Suitcasing Rule Applies - Tradeshow entry is not included for Associate/Supplier Members. If you would like to attend the tradeshow, you have to register as an exhibitor or share a booth and have it indicated on your registration form. Associate members that purchase a Full Registration are in no way granted the right to solicit business in any way; that right is reserved exclusively for our exhibitors who have purchased tables. Anyone found violating this policy will be escorted from the Expo area.

What is Suitcasing: Suitcasing is a parasitic business practice in which unethical companies will gain access to an event by obtaining some type of event credential (attendee badge, expo-only badge, etc.) and then solicit business in the aisles or other public spaces used for the conference.

Affordable fees are possible because of our Associates’ generosity and investment in FSAE.
