Please extend a very warm welcome to all "First Timer" attendees identified by the yellow ribbon on their badge. Calling all our Conference Vets! While we attempt to focus as much attention as possible into these initiatives for our “First Timers,” we still need your help as a seasoned NCBFAA Annual Conference Veteran! The best way for you to help is simply to connect. If you see a “First Timer,” say Hello! Introduce them to some of your contacts. Sit by them in a general session or social gathering. Not only will you be helping the “First Timers” make it through their first NCBFAA experience, but you'll be building your own network and quite possibly making a great new friend!
