CUPA-HR Solicitation & Attendance Policy

The CUPA-HR Annual Conference & Expo is a private conference and tradeshow. Only employees or bona-fide representatives exhibitors, higher education institutions and pre-approved speakers and guests are eligible to attend. Management reserves the right to refuse admittance to any registrant. Product/service demonstration or solicitation of business, including but not limited to literature distribution by non-exhibitors or exhibitors outside their rented exhibit space or in any show management contracted hotel, is strictly prohibited. Show management has the sole discretion and right to immediately remove violator(s) from the event area and revoke show credentials from violator(s) without prior notice or hearing. Show management may also, at its discretion, bar any violator(s) from future shows.

Exhibitor & Participant Notice — No Suitcasing Allowed

CUPA-HR appreciates your participation as an exhibitor. Please be advised that the distribution of sales materials on the show floor or in the session areas from non-exhibiting companies, i.e., “suitcasing” is not permitted. All exhibitors must also confine their sales activities to their booth areas. Brochures may not be handed out in the aisles or in other parts of the building.

If you witness this type of activity, please contact Show Management immediately so that we can properly handle this situation. Show Management can be contacted by going to the registration desk on the street level near the Grand Ballroom and Salon.

No Suitcasing — Non-Exhibitors & Corporate Speakers

Anyone observed to be soliciting in the aisles, lunch tables or other public areas, or in an exhibitor’s booth will be asked to leave immediately. Additional penalties also may be levied. Please report any violations you observe to Show Management.

Non-exhibitors and non-exhibiting corporate speakers are not permitted to participate in the following activities: taking a group of higher education representatives to dinners, receptions or product/services demonstrations; actively seeking new business without the benefit of an exhibit booth.
