The Garden Center Conference & Expo is a business-to-business event open to trade professionals only. Persons under 18 (including infants) are not allowed into the educational sessions, exhibit hall or food functions.
Show management reserves the right to remove or to deny admission to anyone who is deemed a risk to the professional atmosphere of the event, who fails to comply with the rules & regulations of the event or hotel, or for any reason whatsoever. Show management reserves the right to do so without liability for refund of any fees paid or due, and without liability for any other damages caused by such action.
Suitcasing Policy:
Suitcasing is the act of soliciting business in the aisles during the exhibition or in other public spaces by non-exhibiting companies, including another company's booth or a hotel lobby. It is Garden Center Conference & Expo show management’s objective to do everything legally possible to protect our exhibitors from suitcasing. We want our exhibitors to know that Garden Center Conference & Expo is tough on suitcasers, and that we are vigilant in our efforts to stop them in order to prevent exhibitor unhappiness and show erosion.
Please note that while all meeting attendees are invited to the Garden Center Conference & Expo, any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, in another company’s booth or in violation of any portion of the exhibit policies will be asked to leave immediately. Additional penalties may be applied. Please report any violations you may observe to show management.
