Registration Fees Exhibitors We welcome exhibits from pharmaceutical companies and other businesses with FDA-approved treatments for alopecia areata, as well as companies and individuals offering books and educational materials that empower people living with alopecia areata, wigs and headscarves, and cosmetic solutions designed to support day-to-day living with alopecia areata. To ensure a balanced and diverse exhibitor experience for attendees, the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) limits the number of exhibitors within each business category (e.g., a maximum number of wig vendors, cosmetic vendors, and similar product types). Acceptance is subject to availability within each category. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as research institutes, should contact Courtney Davies, Chief Growth Officer, at CDavies@naaf.org. All other commercial businesses (including wigs, headscarves, and makeup/camouflage providers) and individuals interested in exhibiting at the NAAF Annual Conference must complete a Conference Exhibitor Agreement and Application – coming soon! Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is contingent upon category availability. Sponsorship Opportunities Please contact Courtney Davies, Chief Growth Officer, at CDavies@naaf.org, if you are interested in sponsorship opportunities for the Annual NAAF Conference. Help Make Conference Possible For More Families For many living with alopecia areata, the Annual NAAF Conference is a chance to find connection, support, and a community that truly understands. But for some individuals and families, the cost of attending puts this life-changing experience out of reach. Through NAAF’s Conference Financial Assistance Fund, your gift can help more individuals and families experience the education, confidence, and sense of belonging that make this conference so special.
