First, for those who have resubmitted their exhibit hall registration preferences, we are aware that the email confirmation is not going out, but the data is being captured and exported from an excel spreadsheet. If you have contacted me about checking on your registration, I have checked them and we have your preferences. We will be filling shifts based on first come, first serve, <span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>so if we have duplicate entries, we’ll be getting in touch to fill the remaining slots. If you have not resubmitted your preferences, please do so before the form closes on 6/26, otherwise we will work from the emails we did receive the first time around to help fill the holes in the schedule. Please make sure we have your best contact number at convention in case we need to reach you on site!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>As a reminder, the form is available at </span><a href="https://nfbi.org/national-convention/exhibit-table-signup">https://nfbi.org/national-convention/exhibit-table-signup</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>If you have questions, please contact Chelsea Van Gorp at 601-618-5170 or by email at <a href="mailto:cvangorp@nfbi.org">cvangorp@nfbi.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Second, the affiliate caucus is set for July 2, at 6PM.
