To secure the amount of meeting and exhibit space required to hold our meeting, ACFAS must guarantee our attendees will occupy hotel rooms at our official hotels. If they don’t, the College incurs financial penalties—which would increase our costs and attendee fees. So, it’s very important that allattendees and exhibitors stay in official ACFAS hotels to keepour costs as low as possible.

The ACFAS must review and approve ANY event affectingACFAS meeting attendees during the inclusive dates of the Annual Scientific Conference, whether they are being held at ACFAS contracted facilities or otherwise.

For events beginning February 27, 2017 through March 1, 2017a form is provided on page 15. Otherwise, Exhibitors mustconfine their activities to their allotted exhibit space. Noentertainment functions, meetings, courses, or socialfunctions may be scheduled to conflict with 75th AnniversaryScientific Conference hours, activity hours, or exhibit hours.

28. EXHIBITOR ATTENDANCE AT ASC CLINICALSESSIONSExhibitors are welcome to attend the open clinical sessions(excluding programs titled “workshops”) to gain newperspectives on surgical techniques and the perspective of the speakers and attendees. With the increased scrutiny by federal and state governments, and medical organizationsthemselves, on industry-physician relationships, it is imperativethat the College ensures its clinical sessions maintain theirobjectivity and independence from industry, and fosterprofessional behavior by speakers, attendees, and industryrepresentatives.
Therefore the College expects that industry representatives/Exhibitors:
� Refrain from asking any questions of the speakers in the meeting room
� Do not approach the podium/stage at any time and sit in the rear half of the room to avoid any perception of undue industry presence, and
� Hold any questions you may have for speakers until you and the speaker are outside of the meeting room.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
29. VIOLATION OF RULES AND REGULATIONSAs a condition of exhibiting, each Exhibitor shall agree to observe all ACFAS policies. The action taken against an Exhibitor for violation of policies will be determined on the basis of the particular circumstances of each case.

Prior year’swarnings and actions may be taken into account in determiningactions for the 75th Anniversary Scientific Conference. TheCollege reserves the right to determine a more severe action,including refusal of or termination of the exhibit, at its solediscretion without progressing through a series of steps.
30. RESERVATION OF RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGESAny matters not specifically covered herein are subject to decision by the American College of Foot and AnkleSurgeons.
