Think about it (come on, harder!), with only one trip, you can get a year's worth of ideas, products and solutions to help improve your business. With everything these two blockbuster events have going for them, you can't afford to miss NRA Show 2010 and IWSB.
"The NRA Show is huge and amazing. There's everything I love under one roof," said Stephanie Izard, chef and winner of Bravo’s Top Chef.
The NRA Show offers more new product launches, networking opportunities and food, beverage, equipment and technology trend-watching – bringing the future within reach for visitors from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Also, cutting-edge special events, including culinary demonstrations by culinary rock stars, celebrity book signings and panel discussions with industry heavyweights will serve up fun and excitement.
"It’s all about the competition and staying ahead and this [the NRA Show] is a great resource," said David Starr, operating vice president of restaurants, Bloomingdale’s.
And last but certainly not least, IWSB - now in it's third year - 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.
Before December 1, 2009, registration for the NRA Show is only $30, and IWSB registration is $85. Between December 2, 2009, and April 16, 2010, NRA Show registration is $40 and IWSB registration is $95. After April 16, registration fees increase to $80 for the NRA Show and $135 for IWSB.
NRA Show 2010 will be held May 22-25, 2010. IWSB will be held in conjunction with the NRA Show on May 23-24 at Chicago's McCormick Place.
What are you waiting for? Be there!
