The National Association of Campus Card Users was formed in 1993 to serve the colleges' and universities' campus card educational and resource needs. Your participation in the 5th Annual conference will indicate your interest in supporting the cmapus card and its growth with your goods and services. Attendance at our conference is your single most cost-effective method to meet customers in the campus card educational market.
Take advantage of this once a year opportunity to reach a unique target group of campus card professionals. Conference participants come to learn about the latest technology, trends and solutions to campus card operations. The show is an important component to the conference providing attendees an opportunity to review the latest products and services available to assist their efforts in implementing the all campus card.
The 1998 NACCU Conference will again feature a larger vendor floor. The increased number of booths and variety of vendors should produce the best trade show NACCU has sponsored to date.
