REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Important Covid-19 Safety Protocols

In looking out for the health, safety and welfare of all attendees at CinemaCon 2021, everyone picking up a badge (staff, delegate, trade show guest, exhibitor trade show booth personnel) will need to show proof of a full Covid-19 vaccination or proof of a negative Covid-19 test conducted within 48-hours of picking up credentials. Attendees will be given a wristband that must be shown when entering officially scheduled events at the show. No exceptions will be made. Please check back on a regular basis for updates to the current Covid-19 safety protocols.

Online registration closes at 12:00 noon pacific, 18 August 2021. Rates are in US Dollars and will be charged accordingly.

The best rate is afforded those who are members. CinemaCon, NATO and its partner associations (ICTA and NAC) depend on membership to continue the year-round work of supporting exhibition worldwide. We urge everyone 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.
