Souvenir Posters from Hatch
Proceeds benefit the YWCA Pet Shelter
In honor of our 25th anniversary we commissioned a souvenir poster from the iconic letterpress shop,
Hatch Show Print. Hatch is known worldwide for their distinctive posters, which have been used since 1875 by entertainers on tour, venues around the world, and others. Hatch is now a part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which is located next door to the Music City Center.
Posters can be purchased at the registration desk for $15 each with proceeds going to our charitable partner, the
YWCA Pet Shelter. Regardless of their own crisis, some individuals and families refuse safe shelter if they cannot bring a beloved pet. YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee is committed to every possible action to bring more people out of abusive situations and into a place where they can begin healing and planning a bright future. Our new Pet Shelter will remove a barrier to safety and allow pets and people to escape abuse together.

Bring Your Clients to the Show
Thursday from 1-3pm
For the final two hours of the show, distributors will be allowed to bring clients. This is not intended to be as big as our Road Show, in fact, we encourage distributors to escort their clients on the show floor (there's no way they can see it all in two hours). This will give you the opportunity to bring clients who have a big project in the works or may have missed the show in August.
Only PPAMS distributor members are allowed to invite clients to the show and will be charged $25 for each client who attends. Since we don't charge for no-shows, we highly encourage you to pre-register your clients so they don't have to stand in line waiting for a badge.
Watch this video
explaining how to register your clients.

Thursday @ 11am and 12:30pm
Hit Promotional Products is again sponsoring two cooking demonstrations on the show floor. Hit will show off some of their kitchen/cooking products while the executive chef from the Music City Center will show you a couple of easy recipes for you to try at home. Attendees will also be treated to a free tasting from the chef!
