Q: Why can't the public attend IWJG trade shows?
A: This policy ensures the highest level of security at our shows. Every attendee is carefully screened. Also most transactions involve thousands of dollars; all members must have a strong financial base. As a member, you'll always know whom you're dealing with. (Or if you don't, we do!) This is one of the major benefits the IWJG brings to its members.

Q: I don't know any IWJG members who can sponsor me. Can I still join?
A: If no IWJG members can sponsor you, then after you fill out the online application, email the following information separately to info@iwjg.com:

• Bank references
• Supplier references
• Customer references
• Any clients that you have done business with in the USA.
• Number of years you've been in business.
• Resale number
• Tax ID number

Q: May I see the exhibitor list or a membership list?
A: Sorry, we never release our exhibitor or membership lists, neither to the public nor to other IWJG members. If you are looking for someone in particular, contact the IWJG and request his or her phone number.

Q: May I see the floor plan for a trade show and choose my table location?
A: Mrs. Olga Cortez Bullock controls table assignments, which are based on membership levels. Seating arrangments are determined as follows:

• Platinum members are seated first.
• Super 1K members are seated second.
• 1K members are seated third.
• All other members are seated in the order that they paid.

Q: Could you please send me an invitation letter for Customs purposes?
A: Invitation letters may be requested in writing to be used for Customs purposes. Our response will be either mailed or faxed back to you. Note: This letter alone will not gain you entrance to the show.

Q: Could you please send me my entrance badge?
A: Entrance badges are never sent by mail. Once all fees have been paid, your badge will be waiting at the show.

Q: Could you please mail me a membership card?
A: All membership cards are issued at the show because they contain photographs and signatures.

Q: What are your trade show fees?
A: See our fees page.
