MEMBERSHIP VALIDATION Corporate members are procurement entities paying national and/or local dues. Corporate Membership (national and/or local) must be validated in order to receive applicable discounted rates. When selecting a corporate member fee, you must enter the name of the parent corporation that holds the national and/or local membership in order to initiate the validation process. Inability to validate a current corporate membership will result in higher registration rates.

MBE CERTIFICATION VALIDATION NMSDC-certified minority suppliers must have a current certificate issued by an NMSDC-affiliated Regional Council in order to receive applicable discounted rates. Certificates issued by other parties are not acceptable to validate MBE status. Inability to validate current NMSDC certification will result in higher registration rates.

Conference Registration DOES NOT include Business Opportunity Fair booth rental fees.
