This year we are implementing a Member Area on the WRLA website to book your booths. The Member Area requires a Member password to access information. Look in your inboxes for an email from BuyingShow@wrla.org for your Member Login details. This has been implemented to reduce the number of unwanted solicitations from unknown parties, i.e. to reduce spam. The intent is to protect the integrity of the Buying Show and protect our Members' personal data.
 
 
Retailer registration will open in the fall - stay tuned for details.  
 
The WRLA team has been hard at work planning new initiatives for the 2019 Buying Show. There are several exciting improvements to the Show, including more quality networking opportunities, education events, speakers, and other items designed to maximize your business development.
