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.
