Please use the survey link to indicate which section of the show floor you’d like your booth to be located in.

Exhibitor App:
GoToCollegeFairs is NACAC’s exclusive technology services provider for in-person NACAC National College Fairs. All lead retrieval services for in-person programs will be captured through the GTCF Mobile Scanning Application.
*Please be sure to download the app prior to arrival*. Attached is a Quick Start Guide with step-by-step instructions on how to get setup in the app. There will be a GTCF representative onsite to answer any questions you have during the fair.

NACAC College Fair Attendee Mobile App
We wanted to make you all aware of an exciting new attendee enhancement that we will be piloting National College Fairs this season. The NACAC College Fair Attendee App will be available to download for all attendees at these pilot sites and will allow attendees to have instant access to crucial fair information including their lead retrieval barcode, the list of exhibiting colleges (including the locator map), list of colleges that matched their preferences via Matchmaking, and much more.
In addition to enhancing the attendee experience, we believe it will enhance the experience for the exhibiting college representatives, as well, as we believe this will drive even more traffic to those schools that attendees match with. Please note, the NACAC College Fair Attendee App does not replace the GTCF MobileScan App or change the lead retrieval process for you in any way. We are just providing this information to you as a courtesy and so that you are aware of this exciting new feature.
On-site Food and Beverage
While light refreshments will be provided, NACAC strongly encourages you to eat a full meal before you arrive.
