Thank you for exhibiting at the 2023 SAAGNY Summer Showcase.

As you can see, we’ve moved to a new venue and we are incredibly excited for a new level of energy.

Here's everything you'll need to know to make this year's show a success!

SET UP TIME

Set up begins at 7:00 am on Tuesday, June 13th. You are not permitted to drop off your display materials or begin set-up prior to this time. All exhibits must be set-up by 10:00 am - there will be a mandatory exhibitor briefing on show policies and procedures beginning at 10:00 am in the Landmark Hall. The show floor opens to distributors and end-users at 10:30 am and closes at 3:00 pm. You are not permitted to break down prior to 3:00 pm.

LOAD-IN and LOAD-OUT

Load-in and load-out at the TWA Hotel is extremely easy. Drive your car to the PARTY sign in the valet area to unload your car. (Last entrance as you pull into the Valet area). Follow the SAAGNY Summer Show signs to the 3 elevators to the event center. Once in the event center, there is an elevator to the right. There is also an oversized staircase if you wish to carry your belongings. At the end of the show, you can do the same thing in reverse - you pack up, take your belongings to the front door and return to the valet area. When you park, you will be sent a text message. This is your receipt and how you request your car from the valet. Make sure to request your car by 2:45 pm so it is ready to go when you are packed up.

SHOW RULES

The SAAGNY Summer Showcase is a client / end-user show. The following rules apply to all exhibitors:

Your direct contact information should not be distributed to any attendees (including distributors) and may not be given to client/end-users at any time. This includes items like line lists for our multiline reps, business cards for all exhibitors, etc. Please pay careful attention to your display materials to make sure you do not accidentally share your contact information.

You should only discuss pricing in coded / catalog terms. Even though you may know you are talking to a distributor, you may not know who is standing behind you that can hear your conversation. Please be very conscious of discussing net pricing with end-users. It has happened accidentally in the past and has put the end-users’ distributor in a very difficult position.

All attendees will be clearly identifiable. Clients/end-users will have yellow name badges. Distributors and end-users will also have different color lanyards. Client / end-user name badges will have only their first names plus a code for the distributor that invited them. Distributors will have their full name only on their badges.

All exhibitors will be given a supply of three-part carbonless Lead Retrieval forms. The top copy is to be returned to SAAGNY at the end of the show. The middle copy is for you to retain and the bottom copy is for the client to keep. Following the show, we will distribute SAAGNY’s copy to the distributor that invited that end-user. Please be sure to return the top copy to us so the distributor may follow up with their client.

 There will be a mandatory meeting for all exhibitors at 10:00 am prior to the event.

Failure to follow the above guidelines may result in the removal of SAAGNY membership and banishment from future SAAGNY events.
