CONVENTION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

How many registrations do I pay for if I want to bring my spouse and/or children? Every LCCA member must register (and pay the registration fee) for the Convention. No registration charge is made for the spouse, significant other or children under 18 years of age who are residing at the same address of the member.

How do I qualify for the registraion gift? In order to receive the special registration gift, you must be in the first 400 registered convention members and be a registered guest of the hotel UNLESS your primary residence is within 50 miles of the host hotel.
 
If I register but don't attend the Convention and I'm within the first 400 registered members, will my special gift be sent to me? No, you must be present at the convention to receive the special registration gift. These gifts are intended for those members who support the club by attending our annual conventions.

What do I receive at the convention when I pick up my packet? You will receive your registration gift (if qualified), all of your tour tickets, your meal tickets and identification badges which are required to be worn at all events.
 
Are there reserved seats at the banquet? Yes. It is important that people reserve their banquet seat. You will have the opportunity to reserve your place at the banquet in the registration area mid-week. To avoid duplicate reserved seats, we cannot allow you to reserve seating for other members at your table unless you have communicated with them and have their complete names and member numbers.

  • Check-In - Prior to setup, all dealers must complete convention registration and check with the Trading Hall coordinator for table assignments.
  • Trading Hall Assistant - Those dealers who require assistance from non-convention attendees are allowed to have two Trading Hall assistants.
