CONFERENCE SESSION REGULATIONS

THIS IS A CONFERENCE SESSION, NOT A TRADE SHOW! THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED:

  1. 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.

  2. Each 8'X10' booth is permitted only one 6’ table for display purposes.

  3. 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.)

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. All exhibit personnel are required to register for the event and pay the appropriate fee.

  8. Multiple booth holders will be subject to the same regulations within the booth space as single booth holders.

  9. 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.

  10. Booth holders may not offer liquor or entertainment in their booth area.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. The booth holder must comply with safety, fire and health ordinances that are in effect in the hall.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.
