NFCA Convention Exhibit Show

What is the NFCA Convention? 

The NFCA National Convention is the largest gathering of softball coaches and exhibitors on earth. The Exhibit Show is your chance to connect in-person with thousands of softball coaches from all levels of the game. As interest and investment in women’s sports continues to grow, the Exhibit Show puts your products and services in front of key decision-makers who are actively seeking solutions and partnerships.

Held December 11–12, 2025, in Las Vegas, the Exhibit show is part of the NFCA National Convention. Booth space is limited and applications are now open. Each 10' x 10' booth is $1,900. To apply, review the information below and submit your application!

*If the Exhibit Show sells out, companies will be placed on a waitlist based on the time of submission of their application.

Why exhibit at the Show?

 Softball is growing at unprecedented rates. Ultimately, “We have the people that want your product.” - Kris Ganeff, University of Notre Dame Associate Head Coach

"By attending the Exhibit Show our business really took off the ground. We're really grateful for the opportunity to attend NFCA events. They have helped grow our business." - Marco Soto, Soto Gloves (current exhibitor)
