NLSC 2019
OFFICIAL PROGRAM

In keeping with these digital times, there will no longer be a separate printed conference program for the national conference in Louisville. All attendees should download the official conference mobile app. The app includes the entire conference program including contestant schedules, trade show information and exhibitor list, Opening and Awards Ceremony, special events, entertainment, participant tracks, attendee bus shuttle schedules, messaging/alert features and search features. 

PARKING AT THE
​KENTUCKY EXPOSITION CENTER (KEC)

There are parking fees associated with Kentucky Exposition Center.
Parking pass purchases have changed significantly.

​There will be no parking pass sales inside KEC.

All parking pass pre sales are now performed online using this link: www.ticketmaster.com/search?q=skills+usa+parking

The site has been tested and the sales appear to be working properly. There will be no Ticketmaster fees associated with the pre-purchase of parking passes, these will be covered by KEC. There are no refunds for parking pass purchases, no exceptions.

The other option is to purchase daily passes at the gate the day of a visit and the fee will be higher. For more information on daily parking fees for busses and cars purchased at the gate click here: https://kyexpo.org/parking-directions/
