REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Online registration closes at 12:00 noon pacific, 18 April 2018. Rates are in US Dollars and will be charged accordingly.

New in 2018! Association membership is extremely important to NATO and CinemaCon. We believe in the adage there is “strength in numbers”. All year long, NATO (National Association of Theatre Owners) and its partner associations ICTA (International Cinema Technology Association) and NAC (National Association of Concessionaires) are diligently working for the betterment of the industry from an exhibition, equipment and concessions standpoint.

Starting in 2018 a new registration category has been established which applies to those companies who are currently NOT members of NATO, ICTA or NAC, yet are eligible for membership. We urge these companies to join their respective trade association prior to registering to reap immediate member benefits, including savings on CinemaCon registration fees.

All registrations will be verified and adjusted, as appropriate, to align with the membership types described below. If you are unsure of your rate eligibility, please verify your status with the appropriate member organization prior to registering.
