NFPA Supplier Tabletop Display Policies and Guidelines

Held in Conjunction with the NFPA 2008 Economic Outlook Conference, Tuesday August 19, 2008—Westin North Shore

What do we mean by Supplier Tabletop Displays?

This special display portion of the NFPA 2008 Economic Outlook Conference will give NFPA Supplier members an opportunity for more visibility throughout the association’s membership. This event is not a “trade show” and should not be treated as such. Instead, we would like to encourage a low-key, informal networking approach, with the added benefit of having samples and literature available for conference attendees. It is in this spirit of a conversational sales opportunity that we have developed the following policies and guidelines.

Policies and Guidelines

• NFPA will provide each exhibitor with one, six-foot draped table.  Access to power supply is available but limited, and should only be used for laptops to show product information.

• Product samples and literature should not exceed what can be placed on the table.

• All exhibit table placements are highly visible and therefore equally desirable. Tables will be assigned based on the order of registration to participate in this exhibit opportunity.

• Exhibits should be self-explanatory, but may be attended by a representative from your company during breakfast, breaks and lunch.  This representative must also be a registered attendee of the NFPA Economic Outlook Conference.

• Tables will be set-up by 7:00 am Tuesday August 19. Displays may be accessible until 4:30 pm. All materials must be cleared from the area by 6:30 pm that evening.  Materials not picked up by 6:30 pm on Tuesday, August 19 will be stored by NFPA until 12:00 pm Thursday, August 21. Any materials not claimed by that time will be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

• The cost to participate in the tabletop exhibits is $300.  Participants may register on-line by clicking here or by phone or e-mail to Leslie Miller; (414) 778-3369, lmiller@nfpa.com. You may choose to be invoiced or put this amount on a credit card.

• Cancellation: Full refunds for your exhibit will be given prior to August 9, 2008. A 50% refund will be given for cancellation notice received after August 9, 2008 but before August 16, 2008. No refunds given after August 16, 2008.

NFPA and the Westin North Shore reserve the right to judge the appropriateness of any exhibit and decline to permit the exhibitor to participate if the exhibit is deemed inappropriate or non-compliant with local safety and health regulations.
