Attendees may register online at www.restaurant.org/show or www.winespiritsbeer.org.

“If restaurant and hospitality industry professionals could only attend one trade show next year, the NRA Show would be their absolute best choice,” said Lorna Donatone, Convention Chair for NRA Show 2009 and President of School Services, Sodexo, Inc. “The event gathers the best and the brightest of the industry in one place, among 2,200 exhibitors showcasing thousands of products and services. No other industry trade show offers more opportunities or more excitement, and we are pleased to provide special registration prices to committed individuals who want to get a head-start on the next business year.”

General attendees registering for IWSB will automatically be registered for the NRA Show. However, those registering for the NRA Show will not automatically be registered for IWSB; separate qualifications, registration and badges are required for IWSB.

The NRA Show attracts more than 71,500 industry professionals from 100+ countries and is the premier venue to find new products and services, build relationships and network, learn from experts and peers, as well as explore the latest trends in food and beverage, equipment, training and cooking techniques.

Now in its second year, IWSB is the industry’s first and only professional forum focused exclusively on restaurant and hospitality bar programs. Held in a separate exhibit area of McCormick Place, the event gathers brewers, vintners and distillers, leading beverage experts, beverage alcohol buyers and more in one exclusive area.

Registration for NRA Show 2009 and IWSB 2009 exhibitors and for news media will begin later this fall.
