Exhibitor Registration Information

Exhibitor Booth Personnel
Each exhibiting company is entitled to a specific number of complimentary Exhibitor Booth Personnel badges depending on booth size (see table below). These badges are intended for company representatives assisting at your booth. The booth personnel badge entitles the bearer to full access to the main exhibit hall for booth staffing, booth construction/tear-down and food functions inside the exhibit hall. PLEASE NOTE THESE BADGES DO NOT INCLUDE ADMISSION TO THE OPENING RECEPTION OR GALA SHOWCASE AND DINNER. TICKETS TO THESE EVENTS MAY BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. For full access to all events, Full Exhibitor Registrations may be purchased at a discounted rate; this information will be included in the Exhibitor Service Manual.

If your company requires more booth personnel passes than provided above, you may purchase the passes individually (see table below for pricing). Forms for these purchases will be included in the Exhibitor Service Manual, which you will receive 60-90 days before the convention. Again, if booth personnel plan to attend all convention events, they must purchase a full registration. Full Exhibitor Registration includes admission to all concurrent sessions, admission to the exhibit hall during scheduled show hours, all food functions in the exhibit hall, one ticket to the Opening Reception and one ticket to the Gala Showcase and Dinner.

Registered individuals can only pick up their badges on-site at the registration desk, located in the convention center. Please note the registration hours previously mentioned in this material—exhibitors who arrive after hours run the risk of not being able to enter the exhibit hall until the following day once registration has reopened.

Exhibitor badges are non-transferable and must be worn at all times, including set-up and dismantling. For security reasons, non-exhibitor personnel will only be permitted to enter the Exhibit Hall during show hours. Registered exhibitors will be allowed in the Exhibit Hall up to one hour before the listed show time and may remain in the hall up to one hour after closing time. As a courtesy to convention attendees and fellow exhibitors, all exhibiting companies are expected to open their booths promptly each day and staff them throughout the duration of the show. Any exhibitor shutting down and packing up their booth before the conclusion of the Exhibition will automatically be placed last in the selection/assignment of their 2007 booth. After June 9, 2006, registrations and changes to exhibit staff must be made on-site; representatives registering on-site will be required to complete an on-site registration form.

NAMB Industry Partners
All NAMB Industry Partners receive first priority on booth space and are entitled to a specific number of complimentary full registrations depending on the level of sponsorship (see table below). For further information on becoming an Industry Partner and/or to receive a copy of the Industry Partners brochure, please visit www.namb.org or contact Rebecca DeMattos at 703-342-5900.

Assignment of Space
Booth space will be assigned at the discretion of NAMB with due regard to the history of support for the Association. That is, in descending order for companies in the Industry Partner Program, and previous exhibitors or sponsors. Assignments will be made on the following schedule:

NAMB will attempt to assign requested spaces. However, exhibitors must be aware that other requests may have been made for the same booth space. The decision of NAMB with respect to booth space will be final and binding upon all exhibitors. Exhibitors will be mailed a confirmation letter with the booth assignment.

Please note booth space does not include furniture, electricity, carpet or Internet—they are items that the exhibitor must order and all costs incurred.

Hospitality Suites and Hosted/Sponsored Functions
Any type of sponsored function by an exhibitor (including Hospitality Suites) will only be permitted for exhibitors in good financial standing with NAMB. Companies interested in reserving a hospitality suite at the hotel should contact Jason Hawthorne Petty (jpetty@namb.org). Exhibitors are not permitted to display equipment or products or to conduct product demonstrations in suites or sleeping rooms during NAMB 2006.

NOTE: Any type of sponsored function by an exhibitor (including Hospitality Suites) is NOT permitted during official NAMB sponsored activities (sessions, exhibit hall, opening reception and gala, etc.). NAMB has attempted to leave ample time open to avoid conflicting events, giving each activity maximum support. Exhibitors are only permitted to begin operation of hosted events after 5:00pm on Saturday, June 24 or after 6:30pm on Sunday, June 25, 2006. Any company found in violation will immediately have their 2006 convention booth closed and be given last selection/assignment for the 2007 convention.

For tracking purposes, all hosted events must be registered with Jason Hawthorne Petty (jpetty@namb.org) in the NAMB Meetings Department no later than June 2, 2006.

Hotel Door Drops
Companies wishing to have an item(s) delivered to each sleeping room of the official NAMB Convention Hotels must first be approved in writing by the NAMB Meetings Department/Jason Hawthorne Petty. There are no exceptions to this rule. Any company found in violation will immediately have their 2006 convention booth closed and be given last selection/assignment for the 2007 convention. All submissions must be submitted no later than 5:00pm, Friday, June 9, 2006.

Upon approval from the Meetings Department, the exhibitor will be given details as to making arrangements with convention hotels. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility for any direct costs incurred with each hotel including the shipping of item(s) to hotel property.

Note: No hotel door drop item may be an item that already exists as a paid NAMB sponsorship or is similar to a NAMB sponsorship (such as bottled water, tote bags, chances to win a car, etc.). Any company found in violation will immediately have their 2006 convention booth closed and be given last selection/assignment for the 2007 convention.
