ALEA Safety Seminar Exhibit Guidelines

You must read and accept these guidelines to register as an exhibitor.

Purpose
To establish guidelines for vendors exhibiting at ALEA Safety Seminars to better facilitate the conduct of the seminar vendor exhibit area.

Applicability
These guidelines apply to all vendors exhibiting at ALEA Safety Seminars. It shall be the responsibility of the ALEA Affiliate Representative, or his designated representative, to enforce these guidelines for the benefit of the whole group. Any deviation from theses guidelines will be approved at the discretion of the ALEA Affiliate Representative or his designee. An Affiliate member not purchasing display space at the seminar will not be allowed to conduct business with the attendees of the seminar.

Exhibit Area
The ALEA Meeting Planner and the respective ALEA Regional Director will make every attempt to secure an appropriate room for the attending exhibitors. It is recommended that the room be large enough to accommodate all the exhibitors with sufficient room in the aisles for the number of members in attendance.

Move in and Set up
Move in time will be published as far in advance as possible. No exhibitor will be allowed to move in prior to the published time. This time may be altered as conditions change.

Tabletop display
Vendors are limited to table top displays. Backdrops are limited to what will fit on a 6-8 foot table top. Maximum height of the backdrop must not exceed 4 feet. No booth type displays will be allowed.

In order to provide for the maximum view of all vendors, it is recommended that vendors with table top backdrops display along the periphery of the room.

Every measure will be made to provide electricity to those vendors that need it. However if the room is not provided auxiliary outlets to the middle of the room, it is recommended that exhibitors that require electricity be given preference along existing wall electrical outlets. Exhibitors that do not require electricity or have table top backdrops are asked to set up in middle of the room.

Exhibit Times
Typically, exhibit times will be established by the ALEA Regional Director and coordinated with the Educational Director to fit the educational agenda. The ALEA Regional Director and Educational Director will allow for sufficient time for the professional members to meet with the exhibitors during the seminar.

When classes or presentations are in progress it is suggested that exhibitors refrain from engaging in conversation that would be disruptive to the classes in session.

Dismantle and Move out
No affiliate will be permitted to dismantle their exhibit prior to the close of the seminar exhibit times. If it is necessary to move out prior to the close of the seminar exhibit times, the affiliate must notify the ALEA Affiliate Representative or his designee or the ALEA Regional Director sponsoring the seminar.

Liability, Insurance and Hold Harmless
In consideration for the opportunity to display services and products at an ALEA Regional Safety Seminar, Exhibitor, its officers, directors, agents and insurers, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ALEA, its officers, directors, contractors, employees and agents, the seminar facility, and any participating governmental entity, from any loss, injury, suit, action or cause of action, or claim whatsoever resulting from any incident, accident, fire, theft or any claim or loss to any person claiming loss or injury, including any loss or damage to property of Exhibitor, its employees, agent or subcontractors, loss or injury to any manufacturer’s demonstration participants, their employees, agents, guests and general public. Said indemnification and agreement to hold harmless, ALEA and the seminar facility, as aforesaid, shall include reimbursement for any costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by indemnities. Further, any claim of damage to the property of the seminar facility resulting in the immediate assessment of damages against ALEA from any act or omission of Exhibitor, its agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors, shall be immediately paid or assumed by Exhibitor.

In addition, Exhibitor acknowledges that ALEA does not maintain any insurance to cover loss or damage to any property of Exhibitor. Exhibitors are advised to obtain commercial insurance to cover all losses and claims.

Restrictions
ALEA reserves the right to determine the eligibility of a company or their product for inclusion in the exhibits, and reserves the right to restrict exhibits that, because of noise, method of operation, materials or for any other reason, becomes objectionable to ALEA. ALEA also reserves the right to prohibit any exhibit that, in the opinion of ALEA management, may detract from the general character of the exhibit show as a whole. In such event, ALEA shall not be liable to any exhibitor for any refund of exhibit fee or expenses incurred by exhibitor to exhibit. No signs will be affixed by any means to the walls, doors or any other surface in the exhibit area or seminar facility. ALEA policy firmly restricts representation or organization that has not been assigned an official exhibit booth from soliciting business and/or distributing promotional material of any type within the exhibit area or any other areas. Further, those organizations that have been assigned an official ALEA exhibit booth should make every effort to conduct business activities within their assigned booth space and not to impede traffic through the exhibit isles or other areas of the seminar facility.
