GENERAL REGULATIONS:
● Exhibitors will not be permitted to set up their displays at the conference until all fees have been paid.
● Each booth must be staffed at all times during the published exhibit hours. To achieve maximum security, all exhibitors must close their exhibits promptly at closing time each day.
● There will be hired overnight security to watch over the exhibit space. During active exhibit hours, the exhibitors are responsible for securing and watching over their own exhibit spaces. We recommend that at least two people watch over each table at all times.
● There will be no smoking in the exhibit spaces.
● All exhibits must conform to the size of the booth space and must be arranged so as not to obstruct the view of or interfere with other exhibits.
● All decorations shall conform to the requirements of the International Clarinet Association. In addition, all decorations shall conform to all local safety and fire codes.
● Exits, fire stations and fire extinguishers must not be obstructed.
● All demonstrations or other sales activities must be confined to the limits of the exhibit booth. However, with limited availability, an exhibitor may have a try-out room available in a location outside of the exhibit area for an additional fee.
● No exhibitor shall reassign, sublet, or share his/her space without written consent of the ICA.
● At the discretion of the International Clarinet Association, an exhibitor may be restrained from any action that is objectionable and detracts from the quality and integrity of the exhibits or Low Clarinet Festival. An exhibitor who fails to rectify an objectionable situation immediately may be expelled and the privileges cancelled without refund.
● Each exhibitor will be allowed four all-access (4) name badges per table rented for the exhibition area. Additional badges are available for $50 by contacting the International Clarinet Association.
● NO SUITCASING OR OUTBOARDING – Suitcasing is the act by suppliers soliciting business in the trade show aisles or other public areas of the show or in another company’s booth without having purchased exhibit space or requesting permission to share a booth space. This includes distributing literature or marketing materials of any kind on the trade show floor. Outboarding is the act of conducting meetings with conference participants off the show floor (in hotels, restaurants, parking lots and other venues) without having purchased booth space at the show or securing advance permission of convention management. Please respect the exhibitors who support the ICA conference by investing significant time and money in the planning and execution of their exhibitor week.
