Chicago, August 28 and 29.  Through the efforts of the Marketing Department of the Auxiliary Association outside vendors paid a fee to represent their products and services at NACON.  Those fees were used to defray the costs of the conference.

Many of these vendors have discount programs for Auxiliarists and were able to share those discount programs at NACON.

Some of the vendors with maritime safety and other gear were able to demonstrate their product’s use and answer questions.  Auxiliarists were able to try clothing on, push buttons and enroll in vendor offerings.

Those with booths on the midway were:
National Association of Commodores
National Boating Federation
Auxiliary National Supply Center
BoatUS
Watermark Navigation Systems
Pentagon Federal Credit Union
Nationwide Insurance Co.
Uniform Distribution Center
NOAA
Mustang Survival Co.
USCG Academy
