Rules & regulations

Suitcasing: The practice of companies or persons who attend shows as attendees but 'work the aisles', soliciting business from other attendees and exhibitors.

Outboarding: Non-supporting companies which set up exhibits or events at off-site locations, such as hotel hospitality suites or nearby restaurants, and encourage attendees to leave the show floor and spend time with them. 

Both practices are strictly prohibited at the event. For the good of the show and the exhibitors supporting the event, the only legitimate area to conduct business during event hours, is within a contracted exhibition or hospitality space within the Venue. Companies shall not suggest or encourage an event participant to attend a location outside the venue, in order to conduct business.
