Use of SpaceAll demonstrations or activities of Exhibitor must be confined to the limits of the exhibit booth. Exhibitor shall not assign, share, or sublet any of the space allotted to Exhibitor without the written consent of NCPN. Exhibitor shall not exhibit goods other than those manufactured or sold by Exhibitor in the regular course of business. Exhibitor shall not display or place any product, sign, partition, apparatus, shelving, or other construction which extends more than eight (8) feet above the floor. Exhibitor shall not interfere with the light or view of other exhibitors.
Sales and Solicitations Over-the-counter sales by Exhibitor are permissible, provided that goods sold are educational in nature (unless approved by NCPN). Licenses, taxes to sale, payment of sales tax, and other legal business requirements are the responsibility of the exhibitor. Purchasers of goods must be furnished with a bill of sale or receipt. Exhibitor shall not authorize solicitations of business or conferences in the interest of business by firms other than Exhibitor.
Giveaways, Promotions, and Drawings Exhibitors are permitted to give away small, inexpensive novelties and literature describing their products and/or services. Prize drawings, lotteries, raffles, or games of chance must be approved in advance by NCPN. All of the above activities must take place within an Exhibitor’s assigned booth space. Exhibitors may not distribute printed advertising outside of the exhibit space for which they have contracted.
Selection of Exhibitors NCPN may prohibit an exhibit by Exhibitor which NCPN deems inappropriate, this reservation being all-inclusive as to persons, things, printed matter, products, and conduct.
Restrictions in Operation of Exhibits NCPN may restrict exhibits by Exhibitor which, because of noise, method of operation, materials, or any other reason, become objectionable, and also to prohibit any exhibit which in the opinion of NCPN may detract from the general character of the exhibits as a whole. This reservation includes persons, things, conduct, printed matter, or anything of a character which management determines is objectionable to the exhibit area. In the event of the exercise by Exhibitor of such rights, NCPN shall not be obligated to refund any exhibit rental.
LiabilityThe Exhibitor assumes full responsibility and liability for damages to persons or property connected with the Exhibitor’s display or caused by the Exhibitor’s agents or employees. Exhibitor agrees to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the National Career Pathways Network and the Greater Richmond Convention Center, Richmond, VA, and their respective employees and agents against any claims or expenses arising out of the use of the exhibition.
Installation and Dismantling of Exhibits Exhibitors can install and dismantle their own booths.
No dismantling is permitted until exhibit hall closing time on Friday, October 19, at 1:30 PM EDT. Failure to observe these rules will jeopardize the Exhibitor’s space assignment and/or the right to exhibit at future NCPN conferences.
Exhibit Staffing Exhibitor’s booth must be staffed and open during all exhibit hours in which the trade show is open on Thursday, October 18, and Friday, October 19.
RefundRefund of the Exhibitor’s Booth Payment will be made in the event NCPN does not accept Exhibitor’s Application and Contract. In the event that Exhibitor desires not to occupy the contracted space,
Exhibitor shall promptly notify the NCPN Exhibit Coordinator in writing. Cancellation of exhibit space prior to thirty days before the opening date of the exhibit will result in 25 percent of the full exhibit price being retained by NCPN; between thirty and fifteen days, 50 percent will be retained. No refund will be made for cancellation after fifteen days prior to the opening of the exhibit.
Shipping InformationContact Exhibits, Inc. at 800-418-2286 or [email protected] with questions about shipping. Exhibitors should address in advance any problems they anticipate may arise. It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to arrange for return shipment of exhibit materials, properly labeled, before departure. Otherwise, it will be necessary to store such material at the expense of the Exhibitor. All Exhibitors are responsible for notifying Exhibits, Inc. of return shipping instructions.
Exhibit Hall Decorator Terms and ConditionsAll exhibitors will receive an exhibitor services kit electronically from Exhibits, Inc. This kit contains all pertinent information including logistics, work rules, rental options, electrical and internet services, and all other information typically requested for tradeshow services. Contact Exhibits, Inc. at 800-418-2286 with questions.
Governmental and Other Requirements Exhibitor hereby agrees to comply with all applicable governmental statutes, rules, and regulations and to comply with the terms and conditions of NCPN’s contract with the Greater Richmond Convention Center (VA).
Insurance If Exhibitor wishes to insure its exhibit materials, goods, and/or wares of exhibits against theft, damage by fire, accident, or loss of any kind, it must do so at its own expense. In the event that any insurance carried by either NCPN or Exhibitor, covering losses arising out of damage to or destruction of the Property or its contents, permits a waiver of rights of subrogation against NCPN or Exhibitor, as the case may be, NCPN and Exhibitor each hereby waives its right of recovery against the other for any loss covered by such insurance to the extent allowed by the insurance policy.
Security Security for the exhibit area will be furnished during the hours deemed necessary by NCPN and is in no case to be understood or interpreted by Exhibitor as a guarantee to it against loss or theft of any kind. Exhibitor hereby agrees that NCPN will not be responsible for the loss or destruction of Exhibitor’s property.
Fire Protection All materials used in the exhibit area must be flameproof and fire resistant in order to conform to local fire ordinances and in accordance with regulations established by the National Association of Fire Underwriters. Crepe paper and corrugated paper, flameproof or otherwise, will not be permitted. Display racks, signs, spotlights, and special equipment must be approved before use, and all displays are subject to inspection by the Fire Prevention Bureau. Any exhibits or parts thereof found not to be fireproof may be ordered dismantled. All aisles and exhibits must be kept clear at all times, and fire stations and fire extinguisher equipment are not to be covered or obstructed.
Exhibitor and its employees, representatives, and agents hereby agree to abide by the policies and terms in this Agreement.

Use of SpaceAll demonstrations or activities of Exhibitor must be confined to the limits of the exhibit booth. Exhibitor shall not assign, share, or sublet any of the space allotted to Exhibitor without the written consent of NCPN. Exhibitor shall not exhibit goods other than those manufactured or sold by Exhibitor in the regular course of business. Exhibitor shall not display or place any product, sign, partition, apparatus, shelving, or other construction which extends more than eight (8) feet above the floor. Exhibitor shall not interfere with the light or view of other exhibitors.
Sales and Solicitations Over-the-counter sales by Exhibitor are permissible, provided that goods sold are educational in nature (unless approved by NCPN). Licenses, taxes to sale, payment of sales tax, and other legal business requirements are the responsibility of the exhibitor. Purchasers of goods must be furnished with a bill of sale or receipt. Exhibitor shall not authorize solicitations of business or conferences in the interest of business by firms other than Exhibitor.
Giveaways, Promotions, and Drawings Exhibitors are permitted to give away small, inexpensive novelties and literature describing their products and/or services. Prize drawings, lotteries, raffles, or games of chance must be approved in advance by NCPN. All of the above activities must take place within an Exhibitor’s assigned booth space. Exhibitors may not distribute printed advertising outside of the exhibit space for which they have contracted.
Selection of Exhibitors NCPN may prohibit an exhibit by Exhibitor which NCPN deems inappropriate, this reservation being all-inclusive as to persons, things, printed matter, products, and conduct.
Restrictions in Operation of Exhibits NCPN may restrict exhibits by Exhibitor which, because of noise, method of operation, materials, or any other reason, become objectionable, and also to prohibit any exhibit which in the opinion of NCPN may detract from the general character of the exhibits as a whole. This reservation includes persons, things, conduct, printed matter, or anything of a character which management determines is objectionable to the exhibit area. In the event of the exercise by Exhibitor of such rights, NCPN shall not be obligated to refund any exhibit rental.
LiabilityThe Exhibitor assumes full responsibility and liability for damages to persons or property connected with the Exhibitor’s display or caused by the Exhibitor’s agents or employees. Exhibitor agrees to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the National Career Pathways Network and the Greater Richmond Convention Center, Richmond, VA, and their respective employees and agents against any claims or expenses arising out of the use of the exhibition.
Installation and Dismantling of Exhibits Exhibitors can install and dismantle their own booths.
No dismantling is permitted until exhibit hall closing time on Friday, October 19, at 1:30 PM EDT. Failure to observe these rules will jeopardize the Exhibitor’s space assignment and/or the right to exhibit at future NCPN conferences.
Exhibit Staffing Exhibitor’s booth must be staffed and open during all exhibit hours in which the trade show is open on Thursday, October 18, and Friday, October 19.
RefundRefund of the Exhibitor’s Booth Payment will be made in the event NCPN does not accept Exhibitor’s Application and Contract. In the event that Exhibitor desires not to occupy the contracted space,
Exhibitor shall promptly notify the NCPN Exhibit Coordinator in writing. Cancellation of exhibit space prior to thirty days before the opening date of the exhibit will result in 25 percent of the full exhibit price being retained by NCPN; between thirty and fifteen days, 50 percent will be retained. No refund will be made for cancellation after fifteen days prior to the opening of the exhibit.
Shipping InformationContact Exhibits, Inc. at 800-418-2286 or [email protected] with questions about shipping. Exhibitors should address in advance any problems they anticipate may arise. It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to arrange for return shipment of exhibit materials, properly labeled, before departure. Otherwise, it will be necessary to store such material at the expense of the Exhibitor. All Exhibitors are responsible for notifying Exhibits, Inc. of return shipping instructions.
Exhibit Hall Decorator Terms and ConditionsAll exhibitors will receive an exhibitor services kit electronically from Exhibits, Inc.

Contact Exhibits, Inc. at 800-418-2286 with questions.
Governmental and Other Requirements Exhibitor hereby agrees to comply with all applicable governmental statutes, rules, and regulations and to comply with the terms and conditions of NCPN’s contract with the Greater Richmond Convention Center (VA).
Insurance If Exhibitor wishes to insure its exhibit materials, goods, and/or wares of exhibits against theft, damage by fire, accident, or loss of any kind, it must do so at its own expense. In the event that any insurance carried by either NCPN or Exhibitor, covering losses arising out of damage to or destruction of the Property or its contents, permits a waiver of rights of subrogation against NCPN or Exhibitor, as the case may be, NCPN and Exhibitor each hereby waives its right of recovery against the other for any loss covered by such insurance to the extent allowed by the insurance policy.
Security Security for the exhibit area will be furnished during the hours deemed necessary by NCPN and is in no case to be understood or interpreted by Exhibitor as a guarantee to it against loss or theft of any kind. Exhibitor hereby agrees that NCPN will not be responsible for the loss or destruction of Exhibitor’s property.
Fire Protection All materials used in the exhibit area must be flameproof and fire resistant in order to conform to local fire ordinances and in accordance with regulations established by the National Association of Fire Underwriters. Crepe paper and corrugated paper, flameproof or otherwise, will not be permitted. Display racks, signs, spotlights, and special equipment must be approved before use, and all displays are subject to inspection by the Fire Prevention Bureau. Any exhibits or parts thereof found not to be fireproof may be ordered dismantled. All aisles and exhibits must be kept clear at all times, and fire stations and fire extinguisher equipment are not to be covered or obstructed.
