Sponsorship Terms & Guidelines

  • To achieve maximum exposure and to receive full sponsorship benefits, please reserve your sponsorship as quickly as possible, but at least six weeks before the conference. This allows sufficient time to place necessary orders, create signage and to include your sponsorship information in the official onsite program. Please note that AGA will make every attempt to provide full recognition on sponsorships confirmed less than six weeks before the event, however, some benefits may no longer be available.
     

  • Acknowledgement in the Conference Marketing Brochure requires that a company’s sponsorship is confirmed prior to design and printing. Sponsors who confirm their participation after December 1, 2004, may or may not be recognized in the Conference Marketing Brochure.
     

  • All conference items are printed in one color, except for the PDC bags, which are printed in two colors. Sponsored items may be printed with your full-color logo for an additional fee.
     

  • All sponsored items are printed with the sponsor’s logo and the AGA logo, except for beverage napkins. Placement of the logo will be at the discretion of AGA.
     

  • AGA reserves the right to select and give final approval on the sponsored items, with input from the sponsoring company. In the event that a sponsor would like to upgrade a meal function, or would like to select a specific item to sponsor, the sponsoring company is responsible for all additional costs for the upgrades over and above the sponsor fee.
     

  • The sponsoring company agrees to pay the published sponsorship fee in full prior to the conference. All sponsor fees are due with a signed order form. Sponsorships may not be cancelled. Upon signing the enclosed agreement, there are costs incurred on behalf of the sponsor and the full, published amount must be paid. In the event that the sponsorship can be resold and the promotional material corrected before the conference, 50 percent of the sponsorship fee may be refunded.
     

  • 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 the event/item, the sponsorship may not be canceled.
     

  • 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, activity or item. 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, 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 within the confines of their exhibit space.
     

  • The sponsor agrees not to extend invitations, call meetings, host hospitality events or otherwise encourage the absence of attendees from the Exhibit Hall during the hours of all exhibit activities. Sponsor agrees to notify AGA of any meetings or hospitality events that take place during the PDC, 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.
     

  • No distribution of flyers, invitations, magazines or other specialty advertising directly to attendee hotel rooms is allowed.
     

  • For added exposure, the logos of Diamond, Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors will appear in a sponsor box located on the conference website. This special recognition will showcase premier level sponsors and provide a link to view the complete list of conference sponsors.
     

  • AGA conference sponsors will be given the first right of refusal. Thus, each sponsor will be given the opportunity to sponsor the same event or item from year to year. Sponsors were given until Friday, August 6, 2004, to confirm participation for the 2005 conference. After August 6, sponsorship opportunities were made available to everyone, and applications are be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
