Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference Exhibiting Policies
Suitcasing is the act of soliciting business in the aisles during the exhibition or in other public spaces by non-exhibiting companies, including another company's booth or a hotel lobby. It is the Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference Show Management’s objective to do everything legally possible to protect our Exhibitors from suitcasing. We want our Exhibitors to know that Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference is tough on suitcasers, and that we are vigilant in our efforts to stop them in order to prevent Exhibitor unhappiness and show erosion.
Please note that while all meeting attendees are invited to the Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference, any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, in another company’s booth, or in violation of any portion of the Exhibit Policies, will be asked to leave immediately. Additional penalties may be applied. Please report any violations you may observe to Show Management.
Outboarding is defined by the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) as the creation of a concurrent event that is related to an existing exhibition or event but that is not sanctioned by the organizer, and which seeks to benefit from the audience the organizer attracts.
Our Exhibitors and event Sponsors invest significant financial and other resources in the planning and execution of their events. Their financial resources are at risk as are the business reputation and good will that are vital elements of an exhibitor’s business success. The Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference works diligently to protect our exhibitors’ and sponsors’ investment in the event by taking a firm stance against outboarding. We encourage official exhibitors to host parties and special events to enhance the Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference before and after show hours, but these activities should never be functions that compete against those who are making an additional investment in their brand at the Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference. During show hours, it is strictly prohibited to conduct education inside of meeting rooms or to promote any activity that directly competes with the Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference.
The Exhibitor shall at all times comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and others that are applicable to the operation of its business, its exhibition and this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Exhibitor shall at all times, at its own expense, obtain and maintain all certifications, credentials, authorizations, licenses, and permits necessary to conduct that portion of its business relating to its exhibition
