AMERICAN BRUSH MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
103rd ANNUAL CONVENTION
MARCH 4 - 7, 2020
RENAISSANCE VINOY RESORT AND SPA
ST PETERSBURG, FL

"2020 VISION FOR THE FUTURE"

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.

DESTINATION INFORMATION

With historic elegance and a very modern sense of independence, The Vinoy® Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club offers a vacation experience unlike any other. Ideally situated in St. Pete, Florida's thriving downtown district, our award-winning hotel is a short distance from Vinoy Park, Tropicana Field and the Dali Museum. Gracefully designed rooms and suites retain the glamour and charisma befitting our heritage, while adding contemporary perks like high-speed internet access, flat-screen TVs and well-lit workspaces. Elsewhere at the hotel, challenge someone to a game of tennis, lounge by one of the pools, tee off from the course at Vinoy Golf Club or book a treatment at the spa. Thanks to our waterfront location and private marina, you can charter a boat and explore the bay. You're spoiled for choice with our resort dining options, which range from American fare to sushi.

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:
