Group Registration

We are excited to have you join NBDF (formally NHF)’s Bleeding Disorders Conference as an exhibitor and/or sponsor! Please carefully read the information provided below regarding the registration policy and procedures for your staff.

Complimentary Registrations

Your group is entitled to a certain number of complimentary Full Access and/or Exhibit Only registrations based on your booth selection. Groups that are also official sponsors of BDC 2024 are also entitled to ten (10) additional complimentary Full Access registrations based on their benefit selection.

The number of complimentary badges you are entitled to can be found below:

Once booth payments are submitted, all registration information will be sent to the Group Coordinator who will then be responsible for the distribution of information to the group. This includes telling all group staff not to purchase any registrations on the public BDC website. The Group Coordinator is also responsible for making sure complimentary Full Access & Exhibit Only pass registrations do not exceed the group’s allotted number.

All complimentary registrations must be completed by Friday, July 26, 2024. Generic badges will be provided for any complimentary registrations not filled by Friday, July 26, 2024. If you wish to add an attendee name to a generic badge after this deadline, a $50 fee will apply.

Badge Types

Exhibit Only: Entitles the holder access to the Exhibit Hall prior to or during opening hours, Opening Session, Awards Ceremony. This registration category does not grant access to any Conference sessions or networking/social events.

Full Access: Entitles the holder access to the Exhibit Hall prior to or during opening hours, Conference sessions, and networking/social events, including the Final Night Event. A Full Access badge will grant qualified providers with CEU credits.

Additional Paid Registrations

NBDF realizes that consumers or providers may work for industry/home healthcare and may be working in the exhibit booth. If consumers or providers are working in the booth and wearing corporate branded attire, please make sure that they are officially registered as an exhibitor. This will be closely monitored.

All NBDF BDC attendees must wear the official conference badge during conference dates. Supplementing NBDF BDC badges with business cards or altering, adding to, or defacing the official conference badge is not permitted. Company badges will not be accepted as a replacement for the official conference badges. False certification of an individual as an exhibitor’s representative or any other method used to assist unauthorized personnel to gain admittance to the exhibit floor and/or instructional courses will be cause for expelling the violator from the exhibition or removing a violator’s exhibit from the exhibit floor without obligation on the part of NBDF.
