5 Sponsor & Exhibitor Policies Registration Sponsorship and Exhibitor packages include full registration for a specified number of attendees, based on the package. Additional attendees must pay for the entire conference in order to attend any part of it. Exhibit hall-only passes are not available. All attendees registering within a package must represent the company purchasing the package. Organizations may not share packages with other organizations that would qualify to attend the conference as a vendor. One exhibitor company is allowed per booth in the Exhibit Hall. Deadlines Sponsor and Exhibitor deadlines are as follows: Registration deadline: January 19, 2018 Registrations received after the deadline will be included in the program and on other promotional materials on a space available basis.

Shipping Exhibit Materials Companies are responsible for all expenses associated with shipping items to and from the conference. The committee will provide a shipping label and additional details. Advertisement and Logo Specifications Contact us for a full list of specs, including size and file format. Payment Payment is due immediately upon registering, and must be received in full prior to the conference. Exhibit Space All packages include a table in Exhibit Hall, if desired. Space available for each organization varies for each conference, depending on the conference hotel and Exhibit Hall layout. The committee will inform companies of the amount of space allocated. Each organization is entitled to one space, and must keep ALL materials within the parameters of that space. Exhibitors will be asked to remove any items that extend beyond the designated exhibitor space. First priority for selection of booth space in the Exhibit Hall is provided in advance to organizational sponsors (Diamond, Platinum, Gold and Silver levels). Second priority is given to the Sapphire and Emerald level sponsors at each individual conference. All other booth spaces are assigned by the conference committee in advance, taking into account current contribution level, years of support, space available, layout, and other conference vendor participants. The conference committee spends a large amount of time carefully arranging the space in the Exhibit Hall in an equitable manner, considering all factors involved. In order to avoid delays in the planning process, no changes can be made to the Exhibit Hall layout on-site. Additional Promotions Exhibitors wishing to provide additional promotions for attendees in their space in the Exhibit Hall should request prior approval from MBA CSEA. All door prize drawings should be coordinated through the Conference Committee. The Exhibit Hall is the designated area for vendors to showcase their products and services to conference attendees. We make a concerted effort to attract attendees to this area so they can learn about the opportunities you have and you can engage them. As a courtesy to the attendees and conference speakers, we request that you do not place any advertising or promotional items in areas other than your designated booth space within the Exhibit Hall. Signs, brochures, fliers and other materials may not be handed out in any other conference rooms or spaces. Promotional displays may not extend beyond your booth area.

6 Insurance of Exhibit Space The Exhibit Hall is not monitored by MBA CSEA or hotel staff. MBA CSEA does not take responsibility for items left in the Hall. It is the responsibility of the exhibiting organization to remove valuables from the exhibit area when not being attended. Company-hosted Events Sponsors and Exhibitors may not host public or private events for conference attendees during the conference meals, activities or programming. Doing so compromises conference attendance and minimizes the work of the conference committee. Contact our Executive Director for suggestions regarding times that are appropriate to host events. Additional Tips We appreciate you taking the time to attend our conference and hope you will find the event beneficial. The conference is a great way to increase your company s brand among your target market. Our volunteer conference committee and our staff have worked hard to ensure we are providing you with the best experience to allow youto maximize your investment in our event. The following tips are based on feedback from our conference attendees, and are designed to ensure you utilize the event to the fullest extent while maintaining a positive relationship with our membership. Whenever possible, make sure there are members of your team present at your table in the Exhibit Hall, especially during breaks and other open networking times. This is the best time to network with our attendees, and we want to make sure you take advantage of it! If possible, provide incentives for people to give you their business card or contact information, such as giveaways or discounts on your products or services. The conference committee provides designated times for raffles and giveaways. We promote this opportunity throughout the event and will raffle any gift items you have provided on your behalf at that time. This generates a lot of interest and excitement as well as additional visibility for vendors that donate gift items. Our members appreciate thoughtful, respectful approaches and are not comfortable with aggressive sales tactics. Please keep this in mind when approaching people during the conference. The purpose of our conferences is for our school and employer members to meet, learn, network and share information that will allow them to enhance their careers and their teams. We allow vendors to attend conference sessions where programming is offered as a courtesy, as we are aware that vendors can provide value to the conversations based on their experience in the marketplace. We also believe it enhances the value to your company because of the increased networking opportunities. As a courtesy to our members and program presenters, we request that vendors do not promote their products or services during conference programming. Product promotions or explanations to groups can only take place in the time and spaces designated by the conference committee. MBA CSEA reserves the right to deny future conference attendance to individuals who behave in an inappropriate or disrespectful way to staff and/or volunteers, as well as companies who violate the Sponsor and Exhibitor Policies.
