MMA.ORGRegistration is now open for the MMA Trade Show at our upcoming Connect 351 conference!
The Trade Show dates are January 22 and 23, 2026.
Here’s what’s new this year:
• We have updated our Trade Show floor layout and added attendee food options, in order to encourage more foot traffic and allow for more networking opportunities.
• We have engaged the services of ExpoGenie, a leader in trade show management software, to enhance the experience of exhibitors. ExpoGenie will allow exhibitors to sign their booth contract, choose their booth space, add their staff names, view sponsorship opportunities, and more!
• Stacey Compton-Maga will be managing the Trade Show as the MMA’s new Events and Development Coordinator! Stacey comes to the MMA from the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, where she was the MMA’s lead event manager at both the Hynes Convention Center and the BCEC.
• The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) has been renamed as the Menino Convention and Exhibition Center, effective July 12.

Attendee Lists – Exhibitors Take Note
Unaffiliated entities sometimes claim to have a list of Connect 351 attendees available for sale. In the past, some of these emails have even included the MMA logo, taken without permission from our website.
Please note that the MMA is the ONLY source for a list of Connect 351 attendees, and the MMA will provide that list to exhibitors after the conference. Do not respond to any email offering an MMA attendee list from any MMA event.
If you receive an email about the MMA and are uncertain about its legitimacy, please contact MMA Event and Development Coordinator Stacey Compton-Maga at [email protected].
