Hey y’all!
We are excited. The first-ever RLAO Trade Show is Friday & Saturday! Thank you so much for the couple hundred of you who have already bought tickets to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
To Check In Friday: Visit the registration desk at the Cork Pull. You will receive your welcome packet with credentials for the weekend of events. Packets will be by store, with credentials inside for each attendee. You will be responsible for making sure each person gets theirs.
To Check in Saturday: Visit the Registration booth in front of Hall A (North end of the building, closest to the Omni) at the OKC Convention Center. You will receive your welcome packet with credentials for the remaining events.

Sunday: Go home, and plan to be at next year’s event! It will be bigger and better!
Besides just throwing a party, we hope you learn a ton, try new products you want to sell, and make relationships with vendors and wholesalers, especially our local breweries, distilleries, and wineries. We hope you take information away to make your store better, more profitable, and fun. We also hope that in the future this event serves as a fundraiser for the RLAO to allow us to push harder and farther to protect your business and have a lasting presence in this state on the political and business stage.
Finally, be patient. We don’t expect this first event to go off without any problems.
But, we will definitely be better for year 2.
See you this weekend!
