No Suitcasing Policy

The American Agents Alliance is committed to providing a professional and productive environment for exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees at the American Agents Alliance Conference & Expo. To protect the investment made by our exhibitors and sponsors, the Alliance strictly prohibits “suitcasing” and other unauthorized sales or marketing activities.

What Is Suitcasing?

Suitcasing refers to the practice of soliciting business, distributing marketing materials, selling products or services, or conducting commercial activities without exhibiting or sponsoring the event. Suitcasing may occur on the exhibit floor, in meeting rooms, hotel guest rooms, hospitality suites, restaurants, lobbies, or other public spaces associated with the conference.

While all registered attendees are welcome to visit the exhibit hall, only authorized exhibitors and sponsors may conduct business, promote products or services, distribute materials, or host sales meetings during the event.

Policy Enforcement

Any attendee, company representative, or organization found engaging in unauthorized sales, marketing, or solicitation activities may be subject to immediate removal from the conference and expo without refund. Additional penalties may include exclusion from future American Agents Alliance events.

The American Agents Alliance reserves the right to investigate all reports of suitcasing and determine appropriate corrective action at its sole discretion.

Reporting Violations

Exhibitors and attendees who observe potential violations of this policy are encouraged to report them to Show Management immediately. Reports will be reviewed promptly by the Conference Management Team, which will investigate the matter and determine whether action is warranted.

Hospitality Suites and Private Events

Any hospitality suite, private meeting, reception, or similar gathering conducted in connection with the conference must be approved in advance by Show Management. Unauthorized events intended to market products or services or solicit conference attendees may be considered a violation of this policy.

Show Rules

All participants are expected to conduct themselves professionally and comply with conference policies. In the event of a dispute:

• Do not enter or loiter in another exhibitor’s booth.

• Do not harass, intimidate, or interfere with another participant.

• Do not remove materials or property from another exhibitor’s space.

• Do not share, transfer, or misuse conference badges or credentials.

• Follow all directions provided by Show Management.

The American Agents Alliance will take all reasonable measures to protect exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees from unauthorized solicitation and to preserve the integrity of the conference experience for all participants.
