About directxchange Conferences NEMOA offers direct marketing merchants of all sizes, and the vendors that service them, an affordable network to SHARE knowledge, LEARN about industry trends and CONNECT with peers and experts in a non-selling environment. There are no exhibits at directxchange Conferences. However, attending companies are welcome to display collateral materials at shared tables provided in the Xchange Cafe. These tables are not manned and attendees can browse at their leisure. Please try to limit private meetings to free times, rather than competing with conference sessions or events. Thank you. We look forward to seeing you at the conference! Please contact the NEMOA office if you have any questions concerning the conference.
