educational activity.
- While in the space or place where the educational activity takes place, representatives
of commercial interests may not engage in sales or promotional activities.
- Arrangements for commercial exhibits or advertisements will not influence planning or
interfere with the presentation, nor will they be a condition of commercial support of CME
activities.

transfer of education to the learner are not permitted. Educational materials that are part of a
CME activity, such as slides and handouts, cannot contain any advertising or brand name or a
product-group message.
- At all times during a CME activity, except when in the setting where the educational
activity is occurring, the representatives of commercial supporters must wear a badge
identifying his or her name and commercial sponsor. No specific product or equipment information

or otherwise incurs fire hazards, Symposium Management reserves the right to cancel all or such
part of the exhibit as may be irregular.
Floor Plan Modifications
Symposium Management reserves the right to modify the floor plan to accommodate space sales
and/or avoid conflict to relocate exhibit booth as necessary after consultation with exhibitors
who are affected by the modification. Every effort to consider location of competitors and
accommodate special requests will be made, but cannot be guaranteed.
Inability to Hold Symposium
If, because of war, fire, strike, terrorist acts, exhibit facility construction or renovation
project, government regulation, public catastrophe, act of God or the public enemy or other
cause beyond the control of Symposium Management, the Symposium or any part thereof is prevented
from being held, is cancelled by Symposium Management, or the Exhibit Space becomes unavailable,
Symposium Management, in its sole discretion, shall determine and refund to the Exhibitor its
proportionate share of the balance of the aggregate exhibit fees received which remains after
deducting expenses incurred by Symposium Management, but in no case shall the amount of the
refund to Exhibitor exceed the amount of the exhibit fee paid.

officers, directors, agents, employees, and members (referred to as “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES”) from
and against any and all claims, demands, suits, liability, damages, loss, costs, attorneys’ fees
and expenses of whatever kind or nature, which result from, arise out of, or are connected with
any acts, or failures to act, or negligence of the Exhibitor, or any of its officers, agents,
employees, invitees or other representatives, including, but not limited to, claims of damage or
loss resulting from the breach of these Terms, Conditions and Rules, or damage of any kind or
nature arising out of or in connection with the Exhibitor’s use and /or occupancy of Exhibit
Space, and claims of damage or loss to any third party resulting from any infringement of a
copyright or patent or the unauthorized use of a registered trademark. The Exhibitor further

continued, departs substantially from the description given during advance approval.
