Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Exhibitors shall be fully responsible for complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with regard to booth space, including, but not limited to, the wheelchair access provisions. Exhibitors shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend NACAC, its officers, directors, agents, members, and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from or arising out of the exhibitors’ failure or allegations of exhibitors’ failure to comply with the provisions of the ADA. Information regarding ADA compliance is available from the U.S. Department of Justice ADA Information Line (800/514-0301).
Animals
The use of live animals in an exhibit for any purpose is not allowed.
Appropriate Booth Behavior
Exhibitor booth personnel and representatives may not enter the exhibit space of another exhibitor without permission from that exhibitor, and, at no time, may anyone enter an exhibit space that is not staffed. Attendants, models and other employees must confine their activities to the contracted exhibit space.
Professional behavior is expected by each company, its representatives and exhibitor-appointed contractors at all times during the NACAC National Conference. Any provocation of another either verbally, physically or by any other means will result in all parties involved surrendering their badges immediately and being escorted off the premises by security, and all parties being prohibited from attending the remainder of the NACAC National Conference. If there is more than one offense, NACAC will prohibit the parties attendance at all future shows.
Approval of Booths Schematics
All lighting and overhead rigging must be approved by NACAC. Self-contained visuals are permitted. Overhead rigging is not permitted on in-line booths. Exhibitors with island and peninsula booths must submit a booth schematic to NACAC Show Management for review and approval by August 27, 2010. Please email or fax to NACAC at 703/243-9375.
Audio Use
Utilization of audio will be allowed if audible only within a two-foot perimeter. This includes live, projected and or recorded audio. Speaker units may be placed a minimum of 2 ft. from the aisle within the confines of the exhibit booth purchased. Exhibitor acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for obtaining any licenses, permits, etc. which may be required for it to broadcast, perform or display any copyrighted materials including, but not limited to, music, video and software. Exhibitor shall indemnify, defend and hold NACAC, its officers, directors, agents, members, and employees, and each of them, from and against any and all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or related to exhibitor’s breach of this provision.
Auxiliary Meetings
NACAC realizes the value of networking with current or potential clients outside of the Exhibit Hall but asks that you do so within the parameters set forth by NACAC. Exhibitors interested in hosting an event at any time during the week of the National Conference (defined as the Sunday before exhibitor load-in, through the Tuesday following the last day of the conference) must complete and submit an Auxiliary Meetings Reservation Form for approval by NACAC before the event may be scheduled or coordinated. This form must be completed for all events held in conjunction with the National Conference, regardless of where the event will be held. NACAC reserves the right to require the exhibitor to adjust event times or locations based on NACAC events scheduled during the conference. All expenses associated with changing the date, time or location of an unapproved event will be the sole responsibility of the exhibitor.
These events include, but are not limited, to any of the following:
- Social Events or Hospitality Events
- Chapter/Non-profit Events
- Media Events
- Focus Groups
- Educational programming
- Trips
- Sales/Staff Meeting
- Consulting Meeting

Backdrops/Drapes
All curtains, bunting and drapes in an exhibit must meet the standards of the fire department in the convention city. Proof that materials are flame-retardant may be required by the fire marshal. If the fire marshal deems the drape not to be of the standard quality, the drape will have to be replaced with materials that can be provided by the official decorator. Any such replacement, including labor, will be at the exhibitor’s expense.
Balloons
Using balloons as part of the exhibit display or as a giveaway is strictly prohibited.
top of page
Cancellation Policy
All cancellations and/or requests must be made in writing to NACAC. Should NACAC receive written notice of cancellation on or before June 4, 2010, NACAC will grant a full refund, less a $100 per 10’ x 10’ space processing fee. After June 4, 2010, no refunds will be made. NACAC reserves the right to resell cancelled space.
Care of Premises
No part of an exhibit, signs or other materials may be posted, nailed, taped, or otherwise affixed to walls, doors or floor surfaces in a way that will mar or deface the premises. The use of Velcro, stick-on decals or similar items, and/or tape on any vertical surface, including, but not limited to, painted walls and portable walls within the facility is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors are responsible for any damage to the facility.
Carpeting
Carpet is required in your booth. You can rent carpet from Freeman, our General Services contractor, or you can provide your own. The carpet must fit the full dimensions of your booth space.
If you have not installed carpet in your booth by 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 29, NACAC will request Freeman to install carpet in your booth and provide you with a bill, which will be your responsibility. Carpet installation will not be allowed during booth finishing, between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 30.
Children
NACAC does not allow children under the age of 18 in the Exhibit Hall at any time. Because of the professional nature of the program and limited seating, children are not allowed in the conference sessions at any time.
Counselors’ College Fair
No exhibit booth personnel will be permitted to enter the Counselors’ College Fair Exhibit without specific prior approval from NACAC. Exhibitors are not permitted to conduct activities (sales, recruitment or other) in or near this event. NACAC reserves the right to deduct exhibitor priority points from a company’s total for violating this rule. Egregious violation of this rule will be considered inappropriate. NACAC retains the right under this agreement to remove any exhibitor from the premises who, at NACAC’s sole discretion, engages in inappropriate behavior. Removal may also include the termination of the exhibitor’s license to exhibit, granted herein, and the closing and removal of the exhibit. Exhibitor hereby waives any and all claims for damages against NACAC by reason of such removal. Removal under these circumstances may result in an exhibitor being barred from future NACAC shows.
top of page
Demonstrations
Demonstration areas must be organized within the contracted exhibit space. Demonstration tables must be placed a minimum of 2' from the aisle. Should spectators or samplers interfere with the normal traffic flow in the aisle or overflow into neighboring exhibits, NACAC reserves the right to require the exhibitor to immediately discontinue the activity.
Dismantling Exhibits
As a consideration to NACAC attendees and your fellow exhibitors, no exhibit dismantling or removal may begin until official exhibit hours have ended at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 2, 2010. Dismantling exhibits includes packing equipment, literature, display materials, graphics, giveaways, or in any way altering the appearance of an exhibit. Dismantling exhibits or “preparing to dismantle” before the show closes is prohibited. NACAC reserves the right to deduct exhibitor priority points from a company’s total for violating these rules. Neither NACAC nor NACAC’s General Services Contractor, Freeman Decorating, will assist with an early dismantling including delivery of empty crates/boxes or shipping. Empty crates/boxes for display materials will be returned as promptly as possible to each booth after the official closing time. NACAC and the facility hosting the meeting do not assume any responsibility for loss or damage to exhibits, equipment or personal belongings during the dismantling period.
Display Regulations
Following are the complete listing of height restrictions and display regulations for each booth type:
- In-line booths where one side only is exposed to an aisle:
Maximum height – 8’ in the rear 5’ of the booth; 4’ restriction in front 5’.
- Corner booths where two sides are exposed to aisles:
Maximum height – 8’ in the rear 5’ of the booth; 4’ restriction in front 5’.

Enforcement of Rules & Regulations
By applying for exhibit space, an exhibitor agrees to adhere to all conditions and regulations outlined in this document. Any violations shall subject the exhibiting company to these penalties:
- Suspension from exhibiting at the upcoming conference.
- Loss of all exhibiting privileges (i.e., company will not be invited to exhibit at any future NACAC conferences).
Any exhibiting organization that fails to notify NACAC, in writing, prior to the conference of its intent to cancel is deemed a no-show. A no-show may result in a loss of exhibiting privileges at future NACAC conferences, and no refunds will be issued. Infractions of the spirit of the rules by potential exhibitors at any time may be considered in determining whether to accept an application from such company seeking to exhibit at any NACAC conference. Each exhibitor is granted nothing more than a terminable license to exhibit, subject to all the rules herein and the approval of the association. If NACAC determines that any exhibitor has failed to comply with any rule herein or any directive issued to the exhibitor, the association may terminate the license and close that exhibiting company’s exhibit without notice. In all interpretations of the NACAC Rules and Regulations, NACAC’s decision is final.

Removal may also include the termination of the exhibitor’s license to exhibit, granted herein, and the closing and removal of the exhibit.
