Now in its 53^rd year, the NCBFAA Annual Conference brings together more than 600 of the international trade industry's top representatives from around the United States. For four days in San Antonio, the nation's leading customs brokers, freight forwarders, NVOCCs, OTIs, and service providers gather to update themselves on industry developments and connect with colleagues new and old.

All current NCBFAA Members and potential Regular, Affiliate, and Associate Members are strongly encouraged to consider joining us for the industry event of the year, the 2026 NCBFAA Annual Conference, where you will:

• Learn from NCBFAA subject matter experts how to overcome industry challenges before your competitors do!
• Hear from federal, state, and industry experts about the latest issues affecting your business!
• Find out what new products and services can help your bottom line from our Exhibitors in the Exhibitor MarketPlace!
• Acquire fresh ideas by networking at numerous social events with old friends and business colleagues while meeting new people!

All NCBFAA Regular, Affiliate, and Associate Members are invited to attend, as well as nonmembers who are eligible for NCBFAA Regular, Associate, or Affiliate membership.

If your company is not an NCBFAA member and you would like to attend a conference or event, please feel free to check with us regarding eligibility. If registering as a Non-Member, we ask that you refrain from making travel arrangements until you receive confirmation that your registration has been accepted/processed in our system.

Please note that individuals, importers, exporters and manufacturers are not eligible for NCBFAA membership, and therefore their employees are not able to attend NCBFAA events like the Annual Conference and Government Affairs Conference.

Individuals, importers, exporters and manufacturers are eligible to be NEI Professional or Corporate Members, and are invited to attend various NEI webinars and participate in GTE, as well as NEI Case Studies, to obtain the required CEUs throughout the year.

Please allow 1-2 business days for your conference registration to be processed in order to receive your hotel reservation details. We process these orders manually and our office hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, Monday-Friday. 

You must have an NCBFAA account to register for the Conference. If you need to create a profile, you can do that here.

Please keep in mind that the information that is currently in your NCBFAA account (Name, Company, E-mail, etc.) should be updated BEFORE registration, as badges and information for the attendee list are populated from this information. If you are registering your Spouse/Guest, share the program and tours that are a part of their program with them before registering.
