Booth space for the 2017 Specialty Tools & Fastener Distributors Association convention is sold out and two hotels have been added to handle overflow.

STAFDA’s 41st annual convention will be November 12-14, 2017, in Austin, TX.

Executive director Georgia Foley said the early sell out is a record. The floor plan has been revised three times and the hall is now “maxed out.”

STAFDA is creating a wait list for exhibitors.

An exhibitor list is posted on stafda.org.

STAFDA has added the Hyatt Place at $229 and Holiday Inn at $199 for anticipated increased membership attendance.

New for 2017 is a program for under-age-35 members, “Speed Interviewing for upper classmen as potential interns and employees and 50×50 “Island Booths.”
