On March 1, RAA began accepting applications for the 2012 Purchasing Forum both online and via email or fax.

The online form and paper form can be found here.

Remember meeting requests will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. RAA will "date stamp" all materials received to facilitate the process. Only registration forms received with completed contracts and exhibitor fees will be considered "received" by RAA.  Associate Member Dues must be paid before your application will be considered.  First-time exhibitors taking advantage of the promo that waives the membership requirement will NOT be eligible to participate in the Purchasing Forum unless they become members.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING HOTEL SOLICITATIONS

We have recently been made aware that an unaffiliated company may contact you about hotel arrangements for the upcoming RAA Convention, please be advised that we have spoken with the Hilton Minneapolis directly and they have advised us they are not offering the room rates which we have been informed this company is publicizing as available over the dates of our conference. They further advised us they have no contracts for any wholesale rates over our conference dates. We felt the need to investigate this as the terms of RAA's contract with the Hilton Minneapolis require the hotel to adjust our contracted room rate if a lower rate was being offered.

Please know that this company (identified as Convention Housing Service-CHS) is not authorized by RAA and is in no way affiliated with organization or the convention. We understand this company is calling certain exhibitors and instructing them to immediately reserve their room through their service. While we do not know enough about this company to conclude if it is scam, we do not recommend you work with this company and instead recommend you only reserve your hotel room only in the official RAA room block.

If you should decide to work with this unaffiliated company, please understand you do so at your own risk. RAA will not be able to assist you in any way if problems should arise with your hotel reservation once onsite at the conference.
