Know Your Business From the Union Perspective

If activities of an exhibitor present an issue with one or more labor unions, the exhibitor could be a target of activities by one or more labor unions. This activity could disrupt the conference’s educational environment and detract from the valuable educa-tional experience of the conference. The Foundation requests that each exhibitor review its current or past activities and advise the Foundation if there are any such issues so that those matters may be discussed in advance of the Annual Conference.

SECURITYThe International Foundation shall provide suffi-cient security service on a 24-hour basis for the duration of the Exhibition. Exhibitors desiring special security precautions should arrange for the International Foundation-approved private guard service at their own expense.
CONDUCT/RESTRICTIONSThe International Foundation reserves the right to restrict exhibits which, because of noise, odors, method of operations or any other reason, become objectionable or otherwise detract from or are out of keeping with the character of the International Foundation Exhibition as a whole. This reservation includes persons, gaming devices, things, live animals, printed material or conduct. The International Foundation reserves the right to approve, prohibit and/or restrict the distribution of any promotional and/or giveaway items. ONLY those products/services approved by the International Foundation at the time of application and approval may be demonstrated and/or displayed.
Exhibitors agree to abide by the following restrictions:
1. No costumed persons or mannequins may be engaged without prior written approval of the International Foundation. Once approved, the Exhibitor shall be sure their manner and appearance do not offend even the most critical.
2. Products, circulars, publications and adver-tising matter must be confined to and may only be distributed and/or operated within the assigned exhibit space.

SOLICITATIONThe aisles and other spaces in the exhibition and con-ference areas, not leased to Exhibitors, shall be under the control of the International Foundation. All dis-plays, equipment demonstrations, presentations, distri-bution of literature or any other type of activity shall be conducted in a professional nature, avoiding the use of sideshow or theatrical gimmicks inside the space con-tracted. Standing in aisles, or in front of any exhibit booth, for advertising purposes is strictly prohibited.

ENTERTAINMENT GUIDELINESThe International Foundation Board of Directors has developed the following rules of conduct for the guid-ance of members relating to the entertainment of persons attending International Foundation meetings, including the annual conference, institutes and regional seminars.
1. On regularly scheduled educational conference days, entertainment of persons attending International Foundation educational functions shall be limited to the functions or gatherings commencing after 6:00 p.m. or at the conclu-sion of the educational sessions. REMINDER: One of the educational opportunities from attending this educational conference is the networking among conference registrants that occurs outside the classroom setting; and, in many cases, the networking occurs at social events such as receptions hosted by organiza-tions serving the employee benefits community. This networking may involve the exchange of experiences among registrants regarding pro-cesses, procedures or arrangements discussed during the conference, including commentary on best practices based on the experiences of those registrants. The Foundation appreciates that such organizations provide the settings for this networking opportunity and encourages the settings for those social events be used to facilitate the exchange of those ideas.
2. Trustee meetings may be conducted in conjunc-tion with International Foundation programs provided such meetings do not conflict with the schedule of educational programs.
3. Members and/or nonmembers who violate the above rules of conduct shall be refused membership in the International Foundation and shall be barred from participation in International Foundation activities for a period of time to be determined by the Board of Directors.
4. The International Foundation’s logo, or mark, is a registered trademark of the International Foundation, and any use of it is prohibited with-out a prior written license from the International Foundation for such use. An example of prohibit-ed use of the International Foundation’s logo, or mark, would be the inclusion of it on invitations to social events that may occur in conjunction with an International Foundation educational conference. In addition, neither registration for the educational conference nor registration to exhibit at an educa-tional conference entitles the registrant to use the International Foundation logo.
Responsibility of the Exhibiting Firm—to be fully familiar with these rules and regula tions and to see that each member of the firm attending the conference, either as exhibit personnel or registrant, or both, is familiar with these rules and regulations.Signature: ___________________________________ Print: ________________________________________Title: _______________________________________ Company: ____________________________________Date: ________________________________________________________________________________
