2023 CA Day & Trade Show

Description

Online registration, booth sales and sponsorship sales for CA Day & Trade Show is now CLOSED. If you missed online registration, you may register onsite the day of the event.

CA Day is an annual educational event and trade show bridging the gap between Homeowner Leaders (board members), Community Managers, and the Business Partners that support them. The trade show is no ordinary trade show. Every year we choose a theme and immerse ourselves producing a truly exceptional trade show experience, with this year’s theme being “What is the Tune of Your Association.” Each booth will be participating in best booth designs and visitor engagement competitions.

There will be FREE Education Classes available to registered attendees from 9am-2:30pm, 128 vendor expo booths to visit from 11am-3pm, thousands of dollars in raffle prize giveaways, and the Backstage Pass After Party from 3:30pm-6:30pm. After Party tickets are $50 online prior to the event and $60 the day of. Or purchase 6 tickets for $275. Each registered CAM and HOA Board Member will receive one free drink ticket (soft drink or select alcoholic beverage). Business Partners may NOT attend the Trade Show unless they have purchased a booth or a sponsorship package of $600 or more. If you plan to attend a class and the trade show, please be sure to register for both. Click here to download a PDF of the Trade Show Brochure to view all of the booth and sponsorship details.

Everyone attending the Trade Show must register by Friday, February 24.

Book your room reservation by calling 800-399-7629 (mention CAI 2023 Annual Trade Show) or by clicking here to make your reservation online.

Suitcasing Policy

CAI has a no tolerance policy regarding “suitcasing,” which describes the practice of non-sponsoring companies or individuals of soliciting sales or sales leads in the lobbies and/or representing their services or soliciting trade show participants for conflicting social activities. Violators of these policies will be ejected from the trade show if applicable, and charged $3,000 which must be paid prior to registering as an attendee, exhibitor or sponsor at any future CAI events. Businesses participating as Trade Show attendees are permitted to leave their contact information at the registration desk to be added to the chapter’s database; visit the CAICF membership table to gather information about the chapter and its programs; view the exhibit area to determine future participation; and to attend educational programs. However, under NO circumstances are they allowed to solicit their company and/or business to any attendees, exhibitors, speakers, etc. Trade Show participants and exhibitors are instructed to contact security if there are any violations of this policy and the violator(s) will then be escorted out and removed from the Trade Show. Exhibitors and Sponsors have paid for the opportunity to promote their business to prospective clients and do not appreciate being solicited by vendors or undermined by competitors. This conduct is disrespectful and does not make a good impression with CAICF members, especially property managers. Therefore the CAICF Chapter expects all business attendees to respect its policies, so that the Trade Show participants can focus on their purpose for attending and not be put in an uncomfortable situation.
