NAILBA 26: A Record Breaker

(Fairfax, Va.) NAILBA 26, which took place November 15-17 in Orlando, will go down in the record books as yet another incredibly successful industry event, featuring more exhibitors and attendees than any previous NAILBA event.

Once again, hundreds of industry professionals came in droves to see the latest products and services and left with more contacts, more knowledge, and more business opportunities. In fact, over 1,400 attendees participated in this year’s exclusive event.

“For more than a quarter century, NAILBA’s Annual Meeting has seen unprecedented growth in exhibitors and attendance and this year was no different,” said NAILBA Chairman of the Board John W. Felton, IV. “It’s a once-a-year opportunity to ‘kick the tires’ on new technologies, network with friends, visit vendor and company partners, have some fun, and attend workshops that can improve business.”

This year, 130 exhibitors showcased their products in 158 booths in the sold-out exhibit hall. This marks the largest number of booths ever sold for a NAILBA annual meeting. Additionally, 23 companies supported NAILBA 26 even further through taking advantage of the myriad sponsorship opportunities.

NAILBA’s workshops were well attended again this year. This year’s series served up an innovative agenda and provided participants invaluable opportunities to learn better ways of doing business.

This year’s General Sessions included such prestigious speakers as Sam Donaldson and Former Secretary of the Treasury John Snow. Entertainment was provided in the form of Second City and Toxic Audio.
