Exhibitor Guidelines
Fees
In order to hold a preferred space, a deposit of $500 is due within 15 days of registration. The balance of all fees is due no later than September 1, 2010 but you may pay in full at any time. After that date, all reserved space NOT paid in full can be released for rent to another exhibitor at the discretion of Conference Management. There will be no exceptions to this deadline and exhibitors are responsible for making their payments. Space registrations submitted after September 1, 2010 must be accompanied by payment in full, unless otherwise agreed upon by Conference Management.
A contract signed by both the Exhibitor Representative and the Conference Director must be on file with Conference Management or space is not considered reserved, regardless of payment status.
Exhibit Limits
Exhibits may not project beyond the space allotted and aisles must be kept clear for traffic. Exhibits shall not obstruct the view or interfere with traffic to other exhibits. Sound devices for the reproduction of sound or music shall be restricted, and any method to project sound beyond the confines of the exhibit is prohibited, unless pre-approved in writing.
Right of Refusal and Cancellation
The FSU Academic & Professional Program Services reserves the right to cancel this agreement whenever it discovers that the exhibitor's product to be displayed is not as described in the contract or is incompatible, in the opinion of Conference Management, with the principles of FGTC.
Default by Exhibitor
An exhibitor shall be in default if it fails to pay the required sums at the pre-identified dates stipulated in the contract or breaches any of the other provisions of the contract.
Cancellations and Refunds
All cancellations must be made in writing regardless of whether or not verbal contact has been made with Conference Management. If received prior to September 1, 2010, a refund of the total amount paid at the time of cancellation will be made. No refunds will be made after September 1, 2010. Exhibitors and sponsors who do not cancel their obligations in writing by September 1, 2010 will be responsible for all fees assessed regardless of whether or not the booth or sponsorship is re-sold to another party. If space or commitment is canceled at the discretion of the Conference Management, the Conference Director will determine the amount of refund at the time of cancellation.

Exhibit Space Information
The following information applies to all vendors.
Exhibit Booth Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. You must receive confirmation of booth availability and location by a Conference Coordinator after registration.
Entrance to the Exhibit Hall
During setup and tear down, exhibitors will have access to the exhibit areas. Please note: During setup and tear down, exhibitors need to pick-up name badges and/or secure a work-pass sticker from security at the loading dock. Anyone employed or contracted by your organization who is involved in setting up or maintaining any part of your booth must have a work pass, unless they are with one of the official FGTC service providers.
Security
Security is a priority for FGTC Show Management. Show management, their officers, agents and employees are not responsible for lost or damaged property. Security guards will be on duty from setup through teardown but they cannot guarantee the safety of any item and are not responsible for any loss. We suggest that you secure your property during off-show hours. Please report any loss immediately to show management so we may alert security and contact the proper authorities.
Parking Information
Parking is reserved in the adjacent parking garage behind the conference center. FGTC Management is not responsible for the towing of illegally parked vehicles.
Food Service
Lunch will be served. Exhibitors arrange for their own meals at all other times.
Name Badges
All exhibitor badges will be distributed at Exhibitor Registration located in the lobby of the conference center. Exhibitors must wear an FGTC name badge in order to remain in the exhibit areas. Security will ask individuals who are not wearing a name badge to exit the exhibit areas.
Name badges are non-transferable. We ask that all exhibitors limit the number of employees they have manning their booth at any one time to no more than 3. (You may rotate individuals in and out of your space as needed, but all personnel must be registered onsite). You may e-mail the names of your staff prior to the show to lgates@campus.fsu.edu.
Space Assignment
A Conference Coordinator must always confirm availability. Exhibitors must meet all deposit and payment deadlines and must return a signed Contract for Exhibit Space to Conference Management to retain a space location. Priority is for initial placement only. The Conference Coordinator reserves the right to alter any location of exhibits as shown on the official floor plan, if deemed advisable and in the best interest of the conference.
The assignment or subletting of any part or all of the exhibit space is not permissible without notification to and approval by the Conference Coordinator.
