BOOTH INFORMATION

Booth Assignments:

All 2013 Annual Conference exhibit space will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis and must be laser or medical related to the mission of the Society, based solely upon the judgment of the Society. The Society reserves the right to refuse the sale of booth space if exhibitor application does not meet this requirement. Permission to exhibit does not constitute in any way a Society endorsement or approval of the exhibited products or services, or guarantee that space will be assigned. The Society reserves the right to restrict and supervise any exhibitor whose exhibit and/or related conduct and activities the Society deems objectionable.

Application Procedures:

To apply for exhibit space, complete the exhibit contract on our Website with the required deposit. Space will not be assigned without the signed contract and required deposit.

Cancellation or Reduction of Space:

Notification of an exhibitor’s decision to cancel or reduce space must be sent in writing to the Society.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Installation/Dismantling:

The Society shall determine the placement of all displays. Exhibitor will comply with all reasonable terms and conditions relating to the placement, assembly, operation, maintenance and removal of exhibitor’s display that it receives notice of acknowledging this contract. Exposed or unfinished sides or exhibit backgrounds must be draped to present an attractive appearance. The exhibits will be inspected during the setup time, with the approval of the exhibitor. During the course of the installation and exhibit days, all booths are subject to on-site review. The Society reserves the right to request modifications where necessary at the exhibitor’s expense to ensure compliance with construction rules. Equipment, products or materials to be shown or demonstrated must be placed within the exhibit space in order to ensure that the attendees viewing the exhibit will stand within that space and not in the aisles.

Exhibits must NOT be disturbed, dismantled, or be in the process of being removed before Saturday, April 6 at 7:30 pm. Exhibitors dismantling before this time may lose their company’s right to exhibit at future conferences of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery.

All exhibit materials must be removed from the exhibit area by Sunday, April 7 at 3:00 pm. If the exhibitor fails to remove their materials from the exhibit area in a timely fashion, the exhibitor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Society from and against any and all fees or expenses the exhibitor must pay to the Facility as a result of such late removal. Any property remaining in the exhibit area after the termination of the annual conference may be disposed of or stored, at the exhibitor’s sole cost, as the Facility deems appropriate.

Booth Carpet and Cleaning:

Booth carpeting/floor covering is mandatory and is the responsibility of the exhibiting company. Carpet may be either supplied by the exhibitor or rented from the service contractor AGS Expo. Exhibits will be inspected during setup time and the service contractor, with the approval of the Society, will provide carpeting for any uncarpeted booths. Any charges incurred will be the responsibility of the exhibitor. Exhibitors are not permitted to carpet outside their assigned exhibit space. An order form will be provided in the Exhibit Service Manual.

Exhibitors are required to keep their booths clean at all times. The Society has the right to order daily cleaning if booth appearance is unsightly. Any costs for this cleaning will be charged to the exhibiting company.

Ceiling Height:

Ceiling height in the exhibit hall is 18’. The top of your display or banner cannot exceed 18’.

Booth Staffing:

Exhibit booths/tabletops must be staffed during all lunch and coffee breaks unless approval has been given by the Society prior to exhibiting. It is the company’s responsibility for safeguarding their goods, materials, equipment and exhibit at all times. If an exhibit booth is left unattended at any time, the exhibitor is responsible for any loss or damage to their property. A company that has failed to set-up or properly staff their booth/tabletop during the exhibition will forfeit all exhibit rights for this annual conference. In the event of such incomplete set-up or improper staffing, the Society reserves the right to reassign exhibit space without notice to the exhibitor and without obligation on the Society for any refund whatsoever.

Booth Catering:

Exhibitor will be permitted to distribute selected food and beverage items. Items must be ordered through the convention center caterer or hotel banquets; order forms will be included in the Exhibitor Service Manual. Exhibitor may not sell any food or beverage on the exhibit floor.

Subletting Space:

Exhibitor may display only those products or goods that exhibitor manufactures or regularly distributes. This information must be included on the contract. Sharing exhibit space is permitted only for divisions of the same company. Exhibitors may not sublet or assign booth spaces.

Surveys:

All surveys must be conducted within the confines of the booth space assigned. At no time should exhibit personnel leave the booth to encourage attendees in the aisles to complete a survey.

Selection of Booth Space:

The Society has several opportunities for booth selection.

As a Gold Sponsor, exhibitor is given preference in selecting exhibit location for the next annual conference.

On-site Sign-up – all exhibitors will be notified of times on-site sign-up will take place; space will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis.

Post conference via Website.

In the event exhibit space is sold out, companies will automatically be placed on a waiting list. As long as space is available, the Society will continue to make space assignments until March 25, 2013. All space assignments are subject to the cancellation policy deadlines, regardless of the date space was assigned.

The Society will attempt to accommodate exhibitor requests for specific booth(s); however, no guarantees can be made that the exhibitor will be assigned the specific booth(s) requested. The exhibitor acknowledges that he/she is not contracting for a specific booth(s), but rather for the right to participate in the annual conference.

The Society reserves the right to rearrange the floor plan at any time. The Society reserves the right to relocate exhibitors should it become necessary for causes beyond the control of the Society, or advisable in the best judgment of the Society. After assignment of space, exhibitor agrees to accept relocation to other comparable space if the Society deems such a relocation to be necessary or appropriate.

American with Disabilities Act:

Exhibitor shall be responsible for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act with regard to the exhibitor’s booth space including, but not limited to, wheelchair access.

Giveaways and Promotional Items:

The Society requests compliance with all applicable industry, state and federal regulatory and governmental agency guidelines.

Acceptable giveaways should primarily entail a benefit to patients, be related to the physician’s work or should not be of substantial value. Giveaways may only be distributed from the exhibitor’s booth, and may not be mailed to attendees after the conference or delivered to outside locations during the conference.

The Society, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to prohibit the distribution of any samples it deems objectionable or otherwise inappropriate.

Media Related Activities:

All public relations press, and media related activities taking place at the annual conference will be communicated to and approved in writing by the ASLMS Central Office prior to the start of the conference. Advertising of any kind must be limited to exhibit hall and convention center and must be approved by the ASLMS Central Office. The Society reserves the right to restrict and supervise any exhibitor whose exhibit and/or related conduct and activities the Society deems objectionable. Such activities include, but are not limited to, distributing articles or other printed matter, distributing samples or surveys, door drops and conducting radio and/or television broadcasting interviews of physicians and others attending the conference.

Lighting:

Exhibitor shall adhere to the following suggested minimum guidelines when determining booth lighting:

No lighting, fixtures, lighting trusses or overhead lighting are allowed outside the boundaries of the exhibit space. Exhibitors intending to use hanging light systems should submit drawings to service contractor for approval.

Lighting should be directed to the inner confines of the booth space. Lighting should not project onto other exhibitors or show aisles.

Lighting that spins, rotates, pulsates and other specialized lighting effects should be in good taste and not interfere with neighboring exhibitors or otherwise detract from the general atmosphere of the event.
