Registration Now Open for THE NBM SHOW/WRAPSCON in The Golden State

Registration is now open for THE NBM SHOW‘s biggest event of the year in Long Beach, California, August 15-17. And as part of the show, WRAPSCON, the only annual trade show put on by wrappers for wrappers, returns for its fifth consecutive year.

THE NBM SHOW/Long Beach and WRAPSCON will be held once again at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center. It’s three days of interaction with manufacturers, distributors and other vendors serving the sign and digital graphics, awards and engraving and decorated apparel markets. Not only can you make and enhance great business contacts, but it’s also a great opportunity for attendees to network with each other and enjoy great learning opportunities, both in the classroom and in the hall during the show.

“Expect good things when you join us at THE NBM SHOW in Long Beach this year, says Dave Pomeroy, vice president of publishing and markets for Broomfield, Colorado-based National Business Media. “We’ve been presenting this unique event that combines the best of the Sign & Digital Graphics, A&E and Printwear industries in Long Beach since the early 1990s, and this is our largest show of the year.

“Four days of complimentary classes, three days of exhibits, hands-on training at exhibitor booths, Buyer Bucks giveaways, The BASH!, WRAPSCON … this show has it all!”

WRAPSCON is a show-within-a-show, entirely devoted to the wraps industry. Now in its fifth year, it has become the go-to event for wrappers from all over the world. All of the favorite attractions are back: WRAPSconnect, a panel discussion featuring some of the world’s top wrappers; the “Meet the Masters” happy hour; and the WRAPSCON Wrap Olympics, a three-day competition pitting teams of master wrappers against one another in a friendly but pressure-packed competition.

“WRAPSCON @ THE NBM SHOW in Long Beach will once again be the single largest gathering of wraps professionals under one roof,” says James “Ruggs” Kochevar, publisher of SDG and WRAPS magazines. “Come see live demos and take in complimentary classroom training by the industry’s top installers. See if you have what it takes to compete in the 2019 Wrap Olympics. Come early for WRAPSconnect (sponsored by 3M)-a morning panel discussion with industry experts taking your questions. Stay for our ‘Meet the Masters’ happy hour and rub elbows with the best in the business. If you have skin in the wraps game, you gotta be there!”

Training is always free at THE NBM SHOW, as is admittance to The BASH!, NBM’s legendary reception, which takes place Friday evening at the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel. Every attendee to the show is automatically registered to win $500 in Buyer Bucks, which is given away all three days of the show.

“If you’d like to see Sign & Digital Graphics and Wraps magazines come to life, THE NBM SHOW is the place to be. Come see the industry’s latest and greatest products to satisfy your sign making needs, continue your professional education by attending a few of our free classes, and check out the amazing demonstrations happening on the floor,” says Kochevar. “THE NBM SHOW is ripe with cross-over opportunities for you to explore. If you’ve thought about a new revenue stream for your business, chances are we have those products on our floor.”

Registration up until 24 hours before the show is free, and after that it’s $25. We hope to see you in Long Beach!
