Attendee testimoniAls

“I was very impressed with the sessions I attended. Excellent con-tent! Meetings Technology Expo is the best value for the dollar for content and access to technology suppliers in the industry…..a high quality conference and one well worth attending.”

Rosemary MuellerSenior Meeting PlannerWeyerhaeuser Meeting Management

“It was great to be able to shop for a registration company and see 4 demos in one afternoon!”

Sharon Kirksey-WalcottAssociate Director, MeetingsAmerican College of Nurse-Midwives

“I left the Meetings and Technology Expo feeling as if I had a handful of new ideas as well as information that I could take back to my hotel and use day in and day out. It also gave me an overview of what my outside vendors to do get their infor-mation to me. The new technology that is out there is continuously growing and it helped by having a broad spectrum of guest speakers that had many different ideas and companies they represented.”

Shannon Rutkowski, CMPSenior Event Services ManagerHilton Short Hills

“AWESOME expo. Met some great contacts. Found a great vendor for a service we were looking for!”

LeAndria StreeterSpecial Projects AssistantInstitute for Family-Centered Care

“I learned something. GREAT! Many shows you go to end up being a networking event only and the education is subpar. MTE was the opposite.”

terms And conditions

1. Defined Terms: The term ‘event’ means: Meetings Technology Expo, Chicago, May 28th, Navy Pier. The event is produced and managed by S.P. Paone Consulting, Inc. As used hereinafter, the term ‘Organizer’ means collectively, S.P. Paone Consulting, Inc. and each of their respective officers, directors, share-holders, agents, affiliates, representatives, employees and assigns, unless the context requires otherwise.

2. Listings And Promotional Materials: Exhibitor grants to Organizer a fully-paid, perpetual non-exclusive license to use, display and reproduce the name, trade names and product names of Exhibitor in any directory (print, electronic or other media) listing the Exhibitor companies at the Event and to use such names in Organizer promotional materials. Organizer shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in any show guide listings or descriptions.

3. Contractor Services Information: Certain firms will be designated to serve as Official contractors to provide security, support and facilities services for the Event (the “Official Contractors”). In some cases Exhibitors will be required to use the Official contractors. Organizer shall not be responsible or liable for the performance or any act, error or omission of any Official Contractor, or any other contractor retained by Exhibitor.

4. Changes to the Event Organizer: reserves the right to re-name or re-locate the Event or change the dates on which it is held. If Organizer changes the name of the Event, re-locates the Event to another event facility within the same city, or changes the dates for the Event to dates that are not more than 30 days earlier or 30 days later than the dates on which the Event originally was scheduled to be held, no refund will be due to Exhibitor.

5. Cancellation of Event: Organizer may cancel all or any part of the Event or reduce the amount of space allocated to the Event for any reason in its sole discretion and for acts beyond its reasonable control, which acts may include but are not limited to fire, strike, earthquake, damage, construction or renovation to the Event Facility, government regulation, public catastrophe or acts of God. If the Event is canceled in its entirety, this contract shall automatically termi-nate, and Organizer shall refund to Exhibitor all Exhibitor Fees in full satisfaction of all liabilities of Organizer to Exhibitor. Refunds shall not be made for partial cancellations or reductions in the size or scope of the Event. Any Exhibitor who cancels this contract prior to any cancellation of the Event by the Organizer shall not be entitled to any refunds paid pursuant to this section.

6. Termination of Agreement: Organizer reserves the right to terminate this contract immediately by written notice if Exhibitor breaches any of the terms and conditions set forth herein including failure to make any payment when due under the terms of this contract. The terms and conditions of Section 7 shall govern if this contract is terminated under this Section 6.

7. Cancellation by Exhibitor: If Exhibitor desires to cancel this contract; Exhibitor may only do so by giving notice thereof in writing sent to the Organizer with evidence of receipt. In such case, Exhibitor will continue to be liable for 100% of the total Exhibitor Fee unless written notice is sent to the Organizer on or before: March 22nd 2009. If written notice of cancellation is received on or before these specified dates, Exhibitor will be liable for 50% of the total Exhibitor Fee. After these specified dates, Exhibitor will be liable for 100% of the total Exhibitor Fee. Because these dates are related to the Event date and not to the date of this contract, these dates shall apply regardless of the date on which this contract is executed. This amount is considered to be liquidated and agreed-upon damages, for the injuries the Organizer will suffer as a result of Exhibitor’s cancellation, and not a penalty. The parties understand that the withdrawal of the Exhibit Space reserved from availability at a time when other parties would be interested in applying for it will cause the Organizer to sustain damages. In this situation, the Organizer’s damages will be substantial, but they will not be capable of determination with mathematical precision. Therefore, the provisions for liquidated and agreed-upon damages have been incorporated into this contract as a valid pre-estimate of these damages. The date of cancellation shall be the date the Organizer receives the written notice.

8. Indemnity: Insurance Exhibitor expressly assumes all risks associated with, resulting from, or arising in connection with Exhibitor’s participation or presence at the Event. Exhibitor hereby releases Organizer, the Event Facility, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, represen-tatives, affiliates and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from any claims for damage, loss, harm or injury to the person, property or business of Exhibitor or any of its visitors, officers, directors, agents, employees or representatives. Exhibitor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from all claims, demands, suits, liability, damages, losses, costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees) and expenses which result or arise from (i) injury to the person, property or business of any person in connection with the Event; (ii) Exhibitor’s participation or presence at the Event and/or use of any of the Event facilities; (iii) Exhibitor’s actual or alleged infringement of the patent, trademark, copyright, or any other intellectual property rights of a third party; or (iv) any breach by Exhibitor of any agreements, covenant, promises or other obligations under this contract. Exhibitor shall be solely responsible and liable for the security of its products and equipment and its confidential and proprietary information, including any subrogation claims by its insurer.

9. Observance Of Laws: Exhibitor shall abide by and observe all federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances applicable to the Event and the Event Facility, including all rules of the Event Facility, the Official Contractors and labor unions.

10. Broadcasts: Copyrighted Material No visual or audio recording or transmission will be made of the Event without Organizer’s prior written consent. Exhibi-tor shall not broadcast, perform, publish or distribute any copyrighted material at the Event unless it has obtained all necessary licenses and paid all required royalties or other payments.

11. Assignment: Exhibitor shall not assign this contract or sell, transfer, assign or sublet to a third party all or any portion of its Exhibit without Organizer’s prior written consent. In the event of a merger of two or more Exhibitors, Organizer will use reasonable efforts to consolidate the fees contracted by the Exhibitors.

12. Governing Law And Jurisdiction: This contract and all rights and obligations of the parties relating hereto shall be governed by and construed in accor-dance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflicts of laws rules that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. At Organizer’s option, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract or the breach thereof (except for an action for injunctive relief) may be resolved by arbitration held in the County of New York, State of New York in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Exhibitor agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the State of New York.

13. Agreement to Terms: Conditions and Rules Exhibitor shall observe and abide by the foregoing terms and conditions and by such additional terms, condi-tions and rules made by Organizer. This contract represents the entire agreement between Exhibitor and Organizer concerning the subject matter hereof. Any amendment to this contract must be in writing signed by the party against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced. The rights of Organizer under this contract shall not be deemed waived except as specifically stated in writing and signed by an officer of Organizer. If any term of this contract is declared invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the contract shall continue in full force and effect. This contract shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and permitted assigns of Exhibitor
