You can now register for the Western Fairs Annual Convention & Trade Show online. The convention is being held at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada January 25-28, 2009.

A record number of acts have applied for showcasing, trade show space is selling fast and educational programming is more relevant than ever! This years Convention promises to be one of the best, an opportunity you can not afford to miss.

Register by January 9, 2009 to avoid an increase in registration fees. Online registration will be available through January 20, 2009. Registration will also be available onsite at the Registration Desk, beginning the morning of Sunday, January 25. Walkup registrations are welcome, but ticketed meal functions may sell out.

We hope you choose to stay at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino at the special $99 rate. WFA and the hotel have worked together to make the offer even more enticing. All registered delegates who book their hotel through the WFA website, or use the WFA code (WFA09) when making their reservations directly to the hotel, will receive a luxury level room at the same $99 rate!

Come! Help us “Build Better Fairs” for the upcoming 2009 season and beyond.

For WFA member convenience we have added a Trade Show exhibitor Registration link.
