AMERICAN BRUSH MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
104th ANNUAL CONVENTION
MARCH 17 - 20, 2020
HOTEL DEL CORONADO
CORONADO (SAN DIEGO), CA

"2021 LEADERSHIP MATTERS"

Who Can Attend?

The American Brush Manufacturers Association is open to member companies and their representative delegates, companions (spouses or significant others) and their children. Attendees may register under one of the following categories:

Delegate
A delegate is a representative of a member organization. Any attending organization must send at least one delegate.

One Day Attendee
A one day attendee is an additional delegate representing a member organization which is already sending a delegate, who will only be at the convention for one day (usually the Suppliers Display day). This is to encourage member companies to bring additional purchasing and sales representatives for increased networking.

Companion
A companion is the spouse, child aged 18 and older or significant other of a registered delegate, and is not an employee of the attending organization.

Child
Your children are welcome. Ages 0-4 are free. Ages 5-11 are at the Child rate. Ages 12-17 are at the Teen rate. Children 18+ should register at the Companion rate. If your child is now in the business and working the convention then they should be registered as a delegate.

Registration Information

CONVENTION REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Take advantage of the "Early Bird Discount." If you register by February 1, 2021, you and your company will be listed in the advance program available online to all attendees prior to the convention, as well as save money on your registration fees. Registrations received after the deadline will appear on the supplemental registration list, available only at the meeting. Please note: a companion is a spouse or significant other, and the One Day Fee must accompany a fully paid delegate. For ABMA 2021 Annual Convention you may either register, using the enclosed insert or register, pay all of your fees, and renew your 2021 dues online!

Register and secure your hotel room before the deadline as March is always a sellout month for hotels. Once the registration and room block deadlines pass the leftover rooms get sold out quickly so DON'T WAIT!

ABMA Online Store

You can pay your dues online and register yourself and others in your organization for the convention online using the ABMA Online Store. Once you have completed an online transaction for dues payment simply "continue shopping" and register for the upcoming ABMA Convention.

Beware of Unauthorized Hotel Solicitations

ABMA's official housing vendor is the host hotel named above. Attendees and exhibitors should be cautious of other companies that:

• Call you directly and claim they are official housing partners and have the best rates for the ABMA Convention. The host hotel Resort will never call you directly to solicit a reservation.
• Claim to be affiliated with the host hotel or ABMA by offering discounted hotel rates, which often can be too good to be true.
• Ask you to provide your contact information and credit card details, and require full pre-payment in advance.
• Claim to have availability at their advertised hotels, but may take the money for the rooms, then later cancel without refund to you.

When booking your hotel for the meeting, please be sure that you are booking through the link provided through ABMA and contact ABMA HQ if you are approached by a company making the above claims. The following companies have previously solicited attendees and exhibitors for hotel rooms and should be ignored:

• The Convention Housing Authority
• Convention Housing
• Convention Housing Services
• Convention Rooms
• CMI Event Travel
• Exhibition Housing Services
• Exhibition Housing
• Exhibitors Housing Management
• Global Expo Travel
• Global Housing Management
