If NACS finds that you do not qualify as an Attendee: Retailer/Fuel Marketer, Convenience Distributor or Fuel Marketer/Fuel Jobber for the NACS Show based on the descriptions listed below, we reserve the right to change your registration to a non-exhibiting supplier attendee and charge the applicable fee.
