all sponsorship items as well as menu selection for meal functions will
be handled by AGA. Placement of the logos will be at the discretion of

Any written notification of intent to sponsor an event
or item will be considered a definite commitment. In the event that AGA
denies a sponsorship opportunity to an interested party, based on a written
confirmation/guarantee by your organization to sponsor an event/item, the
sponsorship may not be cancelled and the full payment must be paid.
Sponsorship costs are designed to lessen the financial
burden of the sponsored item and do not necessarily reflect the total cost
of the sponsored event or item.
Sponsors of previous conference activities/items have
the right of first refusal for the same activity/item in the following year.
Remaining opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The receipt of application will establish the assignment date. In cases
where sponsorship reservations are received simultaneously, preference will
be given to AGA Corporate Partners and past conference sponsors/exhibitors.
No person, firm or organization, public or private,
not having contracted with AGA for the occupancy of booth space will be
permitted to display or demonstrate its products/services, distribute
promotional materials, meeting announcements or solicitations of business in
the Exhibit Hall, education sessions, public areas of the conference
facility or in hospitality suites, unless it is included with their
sponsorship package. Any infringement of this rule will result in the prompt
removal of the offending persons and/or promotional materials from the
Exhibit Hall and/or conference facility. Only exhibitors are allowed to
distribute material and it must be within the confines of their exhibit
space.
To achieve maximum exposure and to receive full
sponsorship benefits, please reserve your sponsorship as quickly as
possible, but at least eight weeks before the conference. This allows
sufficient time to place necessary orders, create signage and to include
your sponsorship information in the official conference program. Please note
that AGA will make every attempt to provide full recognition on sponsorships
confirmed less than eight weeks before the event, however, some benefits may
no longer be available.
The sponsor agrees not to extend invitations, call
meetings, host hospitality events or otherwise encourage the absence of
attendees from the Exhibit Hall, education sessions and/or social events
during the hours of official conference activities. Sponsor agrees to notify
AGA of any meetings or hospitality events that take place during the
conference, even if they take place after official conference events have
ended. All requests for meeting rooms, hotel suites and special function
rooms must be approved by AGA.
Distribution of flyers, invitations, magazines or
other specialty advertising directly to attendee hotel rooms is prohibited.
AGA reserves the right to review any sponsorship
application for appropriateness for our intended audience and support of our
mission.
