Information for Exhibitors

We encourage anyone to apply to exhibit at the NMA market. Please submit a completed contract along with the dues and show fees to the NMA address listed below.

The NMA market continues to enjoy a very good reputation for over 40 years as being a one-stop-shop for retailers and buyers in the Pacific Northwest to come and see a large selection of product lines in footwear, apparel, and accessories. Sales representatives enjoy the opportunity to work the show and meet many existing and new customers at one location in one weekend, without having to travel all over their territory in the Pacific Northwest.

Over 400 retail stores attend each market, with the Spring 2008 Market drawing 420 retail stores. Representatives enjoy meeting with retailers at the market in an atmosphere where the retailer can devote all of their attention to buying without having to multitask with interruptions at their stores and offices.

For the Fall 2008 Market in March, 2008, room rates will be $109 per night for each of the 3 nights of the show (Fri, Sat, Sun). Booth areas on the convention show floor are $225 for the show. Some representatives prefer suites, where they have more privacy in meeting with retailers. Other representatives prefer a booth, where they may be better exposed to more traffic. Each suite has a separate bedroom where you can sleep for the night, a living room where you can display your merchandise and meet with retailers, and each suite comes with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot. A complete buffet breakfast each morning is included in the price of the suite.
