Am I reading the site correctly, in that I can become a member of NGPA for $49 and attend the expo for free; but, if I just want to attend the expo as a non member it costs $75?

NGPA yearly membership is $49, and as a member, you have the benefit of attending our annual Industry Expo. As a member, you receive discounted rates to attend our events, as well as monthly newsletters and quarterly magazine.

If you are not an NGPA member, you will have to pay $75 to attend the expo.

That's still a great deal comparing to others out there.

Ok, great. Thanks for the reply!

And $75 is less than other fairs, by far. I guess, I just don't understand why someone would pay the $75 instead of just joining for a year at $49 and getting in for "free"?

That we are! Many members of the NGPA leadership have been furloughed or sought employment in the recent past, and those were the times we didn't have the extra funds to be paying high fee's to attend job fairs. It is our mission to make this fun, relaxed and affordable, and if you attended last year, you would have walked away feeling that way.

The NGPA welcomes everyone into our community, Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgender, straight, and allies of the LGBT community. We don't discriminate as that would go against the very reason of our goal, fighting for equality. This is why it's open to the public. As an NGPA member ally, you are voguing to support us for the year. If someone doesn't want to become a year round member of the NGPA, we wanted to provide that option to attend not being a member. However, we wanted our members to have an advantage to attending.

We hope to see you there! Registration will open next month!

How do I register for the conference if I don't want to become a member? On the link I see registration for vendors and recruiters, but not attendees...
