CONFERENCE
SESSION REGULATIONS
THIS IS A CONFERENCE SESSION,
NOT A TRADE SHOW! THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED:
- Each 8'X10' booth will be provided with
one 6' conference table for product samples, scale models
and product literature. To maintain the conference booth atmosphere,
tabletop models or displays must NOT exceed the height
of 6 feet (72") above the table. No display material may extend
beyond the width or length of the table.
- Each 8'X10' booth is permitted only
one 6’ table for display purposes.
- Additional furniture may be ordered
by the booth holder for use in their space provided that the
items are not utilized for display purposes. (* To enhance
personal discussions, a round table with extra chairs is recommended.
These optional items are to be ordered by the booth holder.)
- Floor-standing displays, backdrops, racks
and shelving units are NOT permitted in the booth space.
Likewise, floor-standing product samples are NOT permitted.
Audio/Video equipment IS permitted as part of a booth
holder's tabletop display provided it does not interfere with
the operation of neighboring booths.
- Backdrops made of rigid material may
NOT be affixed to the back wall, curtains, side rails
or front table drape. Flag or banner-type signs are allowed.
- An open conference floor will be maintained
during the A.M. Session of the event allowing distributors
to visit with exhibitors at random. Appointments are highly
recommended throughout the day but particularly in the afternoon.
- All exhibit personnel are required to
register for the event and pay the appropriate fee.
- Multiple booth holders will be subject
to the same regulations within the booth space as single booth
holders.
- The booth holder agrees not to assign,
sublet or apportion any part of their assigned space nor to
exhibit, advertise or offer for sale goods other than those
manufactured or sold by him/her in the regular course of business,
unless prior written approval is received from NBMDA.
- Booth holders may not offer liquor or
entertainment in their booth area.
- Booth holders agree that the NBMDA management
shall be the sole judge of the compliance of these regulations.
Non-conforming materials shall, at the request of show management,
be removed or altered to the degree necessary for compliance.
- In the event NBMDA's Convention is delayed,
canceled, interrupted, discontinued or access to the premises
is prohibited or interfered with by reason of any strike,
lockout, injunction, act of war, act of God, emergency declared
by any government agency, or for any other reason, this contract
may be terminated by the NBMDA. In the event of such termination,
the booth holder waives any and all damages and claims for
damages and agrees that the sole liability of NBMDA shall
be to return booth holder his/her pre-paid rent less his/her
pro-rata share of all costs and expenses incurred and committed
by NBMDA.
- The booth holder must comply with safety,
fire and health ordinances that are in effect in the hall.
- No booth holder may allow an article
to neither be brought into, nor permit any act to be done
on the convention premises which will increase the premiums
or void policies of insurance held by the NBMDA. No booth
holder may permit any act by its employees by which the premises
shall in any manner be marred or defaced. Booth holder shall
reimburse NBMDA or building owners as appropriate for any
damage to the premises done by the booth holder.
- NBMDA shall not be liable to booth holder
for damage or loss of property through fire, theft, accident
or any other cause. NBMDA shall not be liable to booth holder,
his employees, agents, guests, or others for personal injury
resulting in any way from the Conference Session, and the
booth holder expressly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
NBMDA, its members, officers, directors, agents and employees
or representatives.
