FAQ
Questions, answered
Is the trade show free for AARA members?
Retail members attend free (sample pricing). Non-members can register and pay at the door or online, or join AARA to get member pricing.
Can I register on the day of the show?
Yes. Retail store owners and their staff can register as walk-ins at the self-service kiosks.
What do vendors see when they scan my badge?
Your name, store names, store types, phone and email, only if you agree when you register. The number of stores you own is never shared.
Can someone else use my badge?
No. Each badge is tied to one person, checked at the door, and a reprinted badge cancels the old one.
