Exhibit and Sponsorship Guidelines

These rules and guidelines have been developed for the purpose of providing a well-balanced, well-regulated exhibit hall and conference.

MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY

MiAPPA reserves the right in all emergencies, differences of opinion, or complaints to make such rulings which, in their judgement, are in the best interest of MiAPPA and the success of the event. The exhibitor agrees to abide by all such rulings.

APPLICATION FOR SPACE

Products or services displayed or promoted must be the company that applied for and occupies the exhibit table. Application for space must be made on the registration site. Payment in full must accompany the application. Cancellations on or before February 1, 2025, will incur an administrative fee of $500. Cancellations after February 1, 2025, or no-shows will receive no refund. No part of the exhibit space may be sublet without the permission of MiAPPA. No two companies may share an exhibit table.

REGISTRATION AND BADGES

All attendees and exhibitor company representatives must wear a name badge issued by MiAPPA at all times during the sessions, meal functions, and exhibit hours. Exhibitors are responsible for persons wearing a badge as representing the exhibitor. Company representatives not exhibiting may attend but may not conduct business of any type at any event during the conference.

BOOTH GUIDELINES

All vendor booths include an eight-foot table and two chairs. Exhibitors may not obstruct the vision to any other booths by oversized displays, signs, etc. No balloons are permitted on site. The sound level from any audio source is not to interfere with communication at other vendor booths. You must bring your own power strips and extension cords if your booth requires electricity. (Requests for electricity will be considered but cannot be guaranteed.)

VENDOR SET-UP AND BREAKDOWN

Exhibitors must abide by the conference schedule set forth. Booths are to be set up and broken down during the posted times.

Exhibitor assumes responsibility and liability for losses, damages, and claims arising out of injury or damage to displays, equipment and other property brought on to the premises, and agrees to indemnify Michigan State University, Kellogg Center, and MiAPPA for any and all such losses, damages and claims. Each exhibitor is responsible for carrying product and personal injury liability insurance. Exhibitor agrees that if MiAPPA should incur liability to said exhibitor for any act whatsoever, as determined appropriate by an appropriate court of law or any other binding decision-making body, the damages to which the exhibitor will be entitled are limited to the amount of the exhibit fee paid by the exhibitor.
