Nashville Here We Come!

Students are back to school and Halloween items are popping up on store shelves. That means the annual URA Trade Show is right around the corner! If you have already registered for THE ONLY show dedicated to independent scrub stores, thank you! If you have not registered, now is the time. Full registration includes:
  • Education on Sunday & Monday
  • Breakfast & Lunch on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday
  • Sunday & Monday Evening Parties with Complimentary Beverages & Hors d'oeuvres
  • Over 50,000 sq ft Exhibit Hall featuring the latest products and services

Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is the beautiful location for the annual show. The resort fee is included in the group rate. The cut-off date for the discounted group rate is September 20.

URA negotiates very competitive room rates. If you stay at another hotel or property, attendees and exhibitors will be forced to pay higher prices in the future. Please be considerate of your association and your peers by booking your room in the URA room block at the Gaylord.
Free Member Webinar ~ Sept. 27

On Tuesday, September 27, the free URA member webinar will focus on unique or hard-to-find products. URA president, Jason Paulsgrove, has been operating Midwest Uniform Supply in Peoria, IL since 2007. Over the years, he has become a pro at tracking down some of those items, especially when you do not want to tell your customer no. Whether you are a new retailer or just looking for new ideas, this is an excellent opportunity to learn, share experiences, and make new connections.
If you missed previous member webinars, they are available under Webinars on your URA profile. You must log in to view the webinars.
