A series of bulletins will be sent to participating exhibitors updating them with detailed information about the NPF. Please access these links to become informed:
Exhibitor registration is provided for four individuals per l0′ x lO’ space.

Exhibitors who wish to solely attend the full schedule of Educational Sessions and all social events must register as an attendee and pay the fee indicated.
To register your personnel, please go to registration.npf.org and access the Registration button to sign-in with your username and password by April 19, 2019. All personnel must be registered under the company that is exhibiting. FOUR BADGES PER lO’ x lO’ BOOTH ARE PROVIDED AND ALLOW ACCESS TO THE EXHIBITION HALL. ANY EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION UPDATES, ADDITIONS, AND CHANGES CAN ALSO BE MADE by signing in with your username and password on our website.

See this convenient checklist to make sure that all your logistical requirements are made. Take note of the service deadlines and order early to save money.
Hospitality functions are not permitted during National Postal Forum Educational Sessions.
The National Postal Forum monitors closely the requests from companies for hospitality suites and meeting rooms to encourage exhibitors to use the suites during non-official function hours, and to discourage non-exhibiting companies from utilizing a hospitality suite or meeting space for business purposes and product demonstrations. If you are aware of violations of these policies, please inform Show Management.
If you need a meeting room for special meetings, please complete the Meeting Space Request Form and it return it to [email protected].
New Product Information
The National Postal Forum may publish new product information online, in press releases and through various news bulletins. If your company has launched a new product since the previous Forum (San Antonio, TX, May 6-9, 2018) and plan to display the product at the Forum, May 5-8, 2019, please complete the New Product Form.
Promote your participation by utilizing the NPF logo. Download NPF Logo Pack for your company’s materials.
The National Postal Forum Rules and Regulations are written to provide all exhibitors an equal opportunity to present their product in the most effective and professional manner to the audience and to protect exhibitors and attendees from unsafe practices. Please review and abide by the Rules and Regulations posted here:
Indiana Convention Center Guidelines
Exhibitors may appoint their own outside contractor only for labor and supervision to set up and dismantle their displays. All other show services must be obtained through the official service contractor, The Freeman Companies. Exhibitor appointed sub-contractors must comply with the following rules. Please complete the Non-Official Contractor Form and return it to NPF.
Exhibitors may utilize the NPF pre- and post-show mailing list, by choosing from the following options.
You may receive the registered attendee list and process the mailing yourselves or you may go through our mailing house to have your mailing processed. The mailing list does not include the email addresses. Either way, NPF must see the piece and approve it before production. Two weeks prior to the NPF event, we generally have approximately 1500-2000 names to mail to, depending on the categories you choose. Approximately two weeks after the NPF, the total mailing list will be available.
If you would like to mail to more prospects, we do have a Mailing Industry Attendee Historical Mailing List that totals approximately 5,000 names. If you choose to mail to that list and the current registered attendees, then all mailings must go through our designated mail house. The cost to mail to either list is $500 to NPF plus processing and postage. Promotional mailings may be scheduled to drop as early as March 29, 2019. Exhibitors may mail to Mailing Industry Attendees, USPS and/or Exhibitors. If you would like to utilize the NPF mailing list options, click the list agreement link below.
Complete the list agreement and return to NPF.
Please contact Mary Guthrie at 703-293-2313 or [email protected] with inquiries and for quotes for printing and processing.
