NFBA 59th Annual Conference & Expo

We’re excited to welcome you back to Columbus, Ohio, for the 2027 NFBA Conference & Expo at the Greater Columbus Convention Center! Columbus is a fantastic host city, offering a clean, safe and walkable downtown with plenty of great restaurants, entertainment and family-friendly activities. We hope you’ll take some time to enjoy everything the city has to offer while you’re here.

As we planned for 2027, the NFBA Board of Directors made a conscious decision to adjust the Conference & Expo schedule based on feedback we received from our attendees, exhibitors and members. We heard from many of you that having the event run Monday through Wednesday created challenges with family and religious obligations, as well as weekend travel.

We understand those concerns and are committed to doing our best to avoid this scheduling issue in future years. Unfortunately, changing the dates for the 2027 event was not possible. Instead, we looked for ways to make the schedule more accommodating while still providing the education, networking, and an Expo experience that makes the NFBA Conference & Expo such a valuable industry event.

For 2027, we have:

• Added an additional exhibitor move-in day that does not fall on the weekend, helping make setup more convenient for our exhibiting companies.
• Moved select educational sessions to Monday afternoon, providing attendees with greater flexibility for Monday morning travel.
• Extended Expo hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, giving everyone more time to explore the show floor, discover new products and solutions and connect with industry professionals.

We know that your time, resources, and commitment to NFBA are valuable and we sincerely appreciate your continued support. Our exhibitors are a vital part of the NFBA Conference & Expo and of the strength and success of the post-frame industry.
