Organizing a Delegation & Delegation Enrollment Procedures
Each delegation will be assigned a unique
'delegation code' to enter when registering members of your group. Registering with this unique delegation code enables the delegation leader to track who has registered, paid or signed up for seminars from your group.
Registering Your Delegation Members
Choose from two options for registration: the delegation leader can register each member of the delegation, or each delegate can register individually. If your delegates wish to register individually, please make sure they know your unique ‘delegation code' to enter on the online registration form.
Delegates can purchase the Broadcast Conference registration at the reduced partner rate. If your delegation includes a group of three or more people from the same organization, you may want to advise them that they can save even more money by joining NAB as international members.
For membership information, contact Emily Dorey at
edorey@nab.org or by phone at +1 202 429 5360.
We have streamlined and improved the process for requesting a ‘Letter of Invitation’ to accompany each delegate’s U.S. Visa application. Please complete the online registration form. If you have a non-U.S. address, the system will ask if you would like a letter of invitation. An invitation letter will be processed immediately and emailed to you in an HTML file. Please print in color or black and white to supplement your visa application.
Hotel Reservations
We'll make it easy for you and your entire delegation to arrange hotel accommodations in Las Vegas!
Reserve hotel rooms online or contact us by phone +1 703-205-9114, fax +1 703-205-0235 or e-mail
nabhousing@expovision.net.
