The purpose of exhibiting at the NBBQA Expo is to introduce yourself, your product and service benefits, and to maintain your profile as a leader in the barbecue industry worthy of your customer’s continuing patronage. Face to face marketing is a beneficial two way street where you can both present to and collect new customers, but also listen to them and learn how to develop new ideas and potential innovations to enhance your upcoming product lines. The cost of traveling down the road to call on a single customer at a time is dramatically reduced when potential buyers can be accessed easily at the Conference and see first hand what you have to offer them. There are many ways to benefit long term from actively associating yourself and your products with professionals active in the business of barbecue and NBBQA, and also gleaned from the enthusiasts on the innovative and experimental edge of BBQ.

The 2008 Booth layout
The NBBQA booth is somewhat unique in that it offers and provides both indoor and outdoor exhibit spaces. The indoor booths generally contain equipment, services and products comfortable on a table or 8’ by 10’ carpeted space. The outdoor booths are larger in order to accommodate demonstration of outdoor grills, trailer-mounted barbecue ovens, smokers and grills, or any equipment that must be operated outdoors. The outdoor spaces are generally about 10’ deep and 25’ long depending upon available space. Most outdoor exhibitors bring their own coverings to provide shade or in the event weather.
