Non AGA Corporate Partner Member: $4,000

Exhibitor Eligibility

AGA reserves the right to determine the eligibility of prospective exhibitors for inclusion at its exposition. Eligibility will be determined following receipt of an Exhibit Space Application and prior to booth assignment. Acceptance of this contract should in no way be construed as an endorsement by AGA of either an exhibiting company or its products or services.

Confirmations

Upon acceptance of your exhibit application, the contact person named at the top of the form will receive a confirmation letter providing your booth assignment and other conference details. This official contact person is responsible for providing onsite representatives with time schedules and other pertinent information.

Booth Assignment

Booth assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis by the date the application is received. In cases where booth applications are received simultaneously, AGA corporate membership status, sponsorship level and past participation will be considered when determining booth location.

Every effort is made to accommodate your requested booth location, but we cannot guarantee that you will receive one of your preferred choices. When submitting your application you will also have the opportunity to list any companies that you do not wish to be located close to. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request, but no guarantees can be made.

AGA reserves the right to alter exhibitor’s assigned location and/or revise the floor plan at any time in its sole discretion if deemed in the best interests of the Exposition. Before exercising its discretion, AGA will consult with the exhibitor. AGA’s determination on assignment of exhibit space is to be binding on all parties.

Payment and Cancellation

The exhibiting company agrees to pay the published exhibit fee once the application has been submitted to and accepted by AGA.

Cancellations must be made in writing. All exhibitors canceling standard booth space on or before December 16, 2005 will be charged a processing fee of $500. If notice of cancellation is given between December 17, 2005 and February 3, 2006, exhibitors will be responsible for 50 percent of the total booth fee. Exhibitors canceling space after February 3, 2006 will be responsible for the total fee of the exhibit space reserved.

Please note: If an exhibiting company was assigned a prime booth location (as determined by AGA), the company will be charged an additional $1,000 prime location cancellation fee if cancellation is received by December 17, 2005. Exhibitors canceling prime space after December 17, 2005 will be responsible for the total fee of the exhibit space reserved.

If a company does not occupy and exhibit in the designated space at the opening of the Exposition, and has not given the required written notice of cancellation, then AGA shall have the right to use the exhibit space in such a manner as it may deem in the exposition’s best interest—this does not relieve the exhibitor’s obligation of paying the full rental fee.
