NOTE: We're Making A Change

For the 2026 PFA Convention we're making a change to the exhibit floor! We're switching from 6' tables to standing height cocktails for your exhibits! 
For those of you who have experienced the PFA Convention, you know that sometimes the exhibit hall can be a little tight and the flow can be a bit difficult at times. This, coupled with the varying spaces we get to accommodate our associate members — we're switching from the 6' tables to standing height cocktails as the base level for exhibits.
We see numerous benefits for the switch and we hope you will too:
  1. Increased opportunity for networking and interaction by having a floor that flows a little more. This also goes for the speed networking/reverse tradeshow!
  2. Less that you have to ship to fill a 6' table. Keep it simple, and refill your giveaways as needed! We'll provide storage space if necessary.
  3. More activations in the exhibit room — we'll be able to more consistently fit the bar and afternoon breaks in the room to keep everyone in one spot.
What isn't changing — we aren't using this to increase the number of Associate Members we're allowing to exhibit. Our goal is to maintain a similar ratio of Fraternal and Associate attendees.
Need a table? We get that some of our Associate Members need 6' tables because their product necessitates it so we're still providing them — just on request. It'll be part of the registration form and there won't be an upcharge (for the first table that replaces your cocktail). We just ask that you let us know by August 1.
