This page is to register as an Associate Member of the Wisconsin Association of Fairs (WAF). Since we are a Member Only organization, your dues must be paid in order to register to attend convention. If you are only planning to pay your dues and not attend convention, you will use the same form. The Membership form is at the bottom of the page.
As you register, you will be selecting the quantity of the items you need first, securing the payment, and then providing the names of the attendees. If you don't know the names of all of your attendees, leave them blank and return to your order number to update them later. Names cannot be modified, so DO NOT put TBA in any field. Instead, wait and provide names as you know they are for sure attending. All names must be submitted by December 15. WAF will send a reminder if not all completed.
You do not need to print any of your tickets. We will not be scanning these tickets. Instead we will use the same registration process as in the past where you pick up your name badges and banquet tickets at the WAF Convention Registration Desk in the Grand Ballroom Lobby.
The items you will be able to purchase include the following with early-bird pricing until November 15:
1. Associate Membership: $85 (you will be prompted to complete an additional form)
2. Trade Show Booth (including 1 convention registration): $450
3. Trade Show Table and 2 Chairs: An 8 foot table and 1 chair are included in the price, but you must choose them if you want them as part of your booth. We find too many people don't want them so we are changing our procedures this year.
4. Trade Show Electricity: $25
5. Strolling: $200 (does not include convention registration)
6. Showcasing: $50/$25 (you will be prompted to complete an application)
