Attendee Badge Registration

Four days in Nashville with the hearth, barbecue and outdoor living industry: new products, free education, and the people you want to meet. Your badge is the way in.
HPBExpo is open to trade only. Manufacturers and business service providers register through Exhibitor Badge Registration.
Member retailers, service companies, distributors and independent manufacturers’ representatives register free with a six-digit member ID. Eligibility varies by membership category.
