NCSG 2019 | EXHIBITOR & SPONSORSHIP PROSPECTUS

The NCSG convention is the leader in the chimney service industry bringing education along with innovative products and services to our attendees during the annual convention and tradeshow.

The attendees to the NCSG National Convention represent some of the most knowledgeable and motivated individuals to be found in the hearth and venting industry. Many of our members do much more than just sweep chimneys. They are dedicated professionals who service every aspect of fireplaces and stoves for their customers. Not only do they do repairs, but many offer masonry work, custom fireplaces building, and stove and fireplace installations.

For more information, contact: Annemarie Stockton +1.317.837.1500 or astockton@ncsg.org

They also serve as a link between manufacturers and consumers as they are in homes daily advising on the maintenance and daily use of fireplaces and heating appliances.

Why Exhibit at the 2019 NCSG Trade Show?

No competition on the schedule At the NCSG Convention and Trade Show we do not schedule classes or other programming during the trade show. This gives attendees and exhibitors the ability to get the most out of the trade show with enough time to have meaningful conversations and interactions.

Engaged attendees We know you are tired of trade shows where it seems attendees are only looking for the booth with the best giveaways. Our attendees use the NCSG Trade Show as their once a year chance to talk face to face with manufacturers about new products and product education.

We offer credit to attendees The interactions between attendees and exhibitors are so valuable that we offer attendees credit for attending the trade show towards their Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) Certified Chimney Sweep credential.

General Trade Show Information Location Waterside Marriott, Norfolk,VA Trade Show Hours Thursday, April 18 1pm- 6pm Friday, April 19 9am- 12pm

We treat our exhibitors like VIPs Our trade show features a VIP room for exhibitors right off of the trade show floor where exhibitors can take a break and grab a drink and a snack.

Suppliers are represented on the NCSG Board of Directors The NCSG offers memberships to chimney and hearth suppliers.

Those supplier members are represented by the Supplier Representative on the NCSG Board of Directors who give us insights on how to create the best possible trade show experience for our exhibitors.
