One of your most valuable opportunities for obtaining those credits is through ICCFA educational programs. For instance, attendees at this year's ICCFA University can earn more than 20 credits in a few days. ICCFA's renowned educational meetings encourage professionalism while teaching job knowledge and leadership skills, and prepare conference attendees for increased responsibility. All ICCFA meetings now offer CE credits. There is no better way to fulfill your state requirements. For more information on CE credits available from specific ICCFA programs for your state, call 1.800.645.7700. Please note that due to onerous and/or expensive filing requirements, the ICCFA no longer applies for Continuing Education credits from Rhode Island or Pennsylvania.

Buzz About ICCFA Events
"Over the last couple of years, the convention scene has been struggling just like the rest of our economy, but if the 2010 ICCFA Convention was any sign of things to come, our future is looking a little bit brighter.
The Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in downtown San Antonio was packed with exhibitors. The number of retailers was very impressive. San Antonio is a great city and a good location for a convention. It provided plenty of things to do and see when the convention was not in session, but it did not pull the attendees away from the display hall during the day. This was easily the largest group of people I have ever seen attending an ICCFA Convention."
--Elberton Graniteer, Spring 2010
At a time when the trade show industry is struggling, the June 2009 issue of Exhibitor Magazine named the ICCFA Expo as a "highlight" of the "exhibition experience."
Editor Travis Stanton, who attended the Grand Opening of the ICCFA 2009 Expo in Las Vegas, wrote: "Whoever came up with the idea of scattering open bars and food stations throughout a show floor should win the Nobel Prize. ...having snacks and refreshments available in the exhibit hall ... not only attracted a decent number of attendees but kept the mood lively and upbeat...".
Exhibitor Magazine is mailed to more than 30,000 trade show marketing professionals.
