2015 Goodwill Industries® Loss Prevention and Safety (GILPS) Conference

November 8 – 10, 2015 Hyatt Regency Hotel

Indianapolis, IN

Goodwill® works to enhance the dignity and quality of life of individuals, families

and communities by eliminating barriers to opportunity and helping people in

need reach their fullest potential through learning and the power of work. One

of the many ways Goodwill is growing this mission is by protecting its assets

through loss prevention efforts. The Goodwill enterprise is made up of 165

independent Goodwill agencies that represent more than 3,000 Goodwill retail

stores throughout the United States and Canada.

The GILPS Conference provides Goodwill agencies, also known as Goodwill

members, with educational programs and materials that address Goodwill

operations, such as retail, after-market retail, workforce development, work

services, contracts, transportation, accounting, marketing and administration.

The event provides insights, tools and tactics to help guard Goodwill agencies

against theft, fraud, financial loss, accidents and natural disasters.

Don’t miss this once-a-year opportunity to meet with Goodwill’s loss prevention

and safety decision makers.

agency operates independently and makes its own purchasing decisions. An organization’s affiliation as a sponsor,

Why You Should Exhibit at the GILPS Conference Network with loss prevention and safety practitioners throughout the Goodwill enterprise.

Provide Goodwill members with current industry best practices and tools for loss prevention and safety.

Take advantage of pre- and onsite exhibitor marketing opportunities.

Network with various local, state and federal law enforcement regulatory agencies throughout the United States to maintain alliances.

Build relationships. When you exhibit at the GILPS Conference, you participate in a valuable networking and learning opportunity that

allows you to personally introduce yourself to potential new customers, build upon your standing relationships,

demonstrate new industry innovations and distribute samples of your products to keep your organization top of

mind for conference attendees. Representing your company at the conference allows you to demonstrate your

products and services to key decision makers from Goodwill agencies throughout the United States and Canada.

Market your organization face to face. The GILPS Conference occurs only once a year, and its exhibition is designed for loss prevention vendors to

showcase their products and services to Goodwill staff from different locations, representing leadership from the

executive level to retail store managers. At the same time, Goodwill professionals can learn from industry leaders

like you and explore newly available business tools and practices.

Align with the Goodwill brand. When you work with Goodwill, you form a bond with the second largest nonprofit organization

in the United States and one of America’s top 25 most inspiring companies (Forbes.com).

Goodwill is also one of the nation’s top five most valuable and recognized nonprofit brands

(Cone LLC). Aligning with such a powerful brand and household name allows your

organization to expand its sales revenue and reach.

Support Goodwill’s mission and help change lives. Partnering with Goodwill makes great business sense and helps improve the lives of people in the communities

where you live and work. Goodwill generates opportunities for people to achieve economic stability and build strong

families and vibrant communities by offering job training, employment placement services and other community-

based programs for people who have disabilities, lack education or job experience, or face other employment

challenges. When you work with Goodwill, you help fulfill this mission.

with the following Terms and Conditions:

1. INDEMNIFICATION

A. The Exhibitor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend GII and the hotel or facility and their respective members, officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all liabilities, damages, actions, losses, claims, and expenses (inclusive of attorney’s fees) on account of personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of property or profits arising out of or contributed to by any act, omission, negligence, fault, or violation of a law or ordinance by the Exhibitor or its employees, agents, contractors, patrons and invitees.

B. GII will cooperate fully, but cannot assume responsibility for damage to Exhibitor’s property, lost shipments either arriving or departing the premises, or moving costs. Any damage due to inadequately packed property is the Exhibitor’s own responsibility. If the exhibit fails to arrive, the Exhibitor will nevertheless be responsible for tabletop rental fee, and no refund will be made. Exhibitor should carry insurance against such risks.

2. LIABILITY / INSURANCE

A. The Exhibitor shall, at its own cost and expense, carry and maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, through companies satisfactory to GII, endorsed to include products and completed operations and contractual liability in a minimum amount of $2 million aggregate/$1 million per occurrence liability policy limits and include GII as an additional insured.

B. All such policies shall specifically state: “Named as additional insured under above policies.” The additional names are: Goodwill Industries International, Inc. and Hilton Regency Indianapolis.

Certificate holder Information needed for Certificate of Insurance: Goodwill Industries International Attention: CFO, Jeff McCaw (GILPS Conference) 15810 Indianola Drive Rockville, MD 20855

C. Each policy shall provide that it may not be cancelled or changed without at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to GII.

D. GII will provide a security guard solely for the exhibitor location from exhibitor set up start hours through exhibit end/tear down hours; however, the furnishing of such security services shall not be construed as an assumption, obligation or duty of GII with respect to the protection of property of the Exhibitor.

E. The Exhibitor is solely responsible for the protection of its property. Due to the tremendous value of exhibits, it is impractical and impossible for GII to insure the Exhibitor’s equipment against loss, theft, damage or breakage.

F. Neither GII nor the hotel, nor any facility, nor any of its employees or representative(s), nor any representative of GII, nor any subcontractor will be responsible for any injury, loss or damage to the Exhibitor or the Exhibitor’s employees or property, however caused.

12

3. REJECTED DISPLAYS

A. GII determines the eligibility of any company or product for exhibit. GII may forbid installation or require removal or discontinuance of any exhibit or promotion, wholly or in part, that in its sole opinion is not in keeping with the spirit and mission of Goodwill.

B. Unethical conduct, breach of this contract, or infractions of rules on the part of the Exhibitor or its representative(s), or both, will subject the Exhibitor or representative(s) to dismissal from exhibit areas. In the event of such dismissal, no refund shall be made, and the Exhibitor or its representative(s) may make no demand for redress.

C. Exhibitors and representative(s) who fail to observe these conditions of contract or who, in the opinion of GII, conduct themselves unethically may be dismissed without refund or appeal for redress.

4. SPACE ASSIGNMENTS

A. Space assigned to the Exhibitor may be reassigned by GII to affect balance against congestion, to avoid confusion in company names, to solve competitive conditions, or for similar reasons.

B. No such reassignment will be made without notification to the Exhibitor. An Exhibitor may not share or sublet space to another party. If the Exhibitor has requested more than one tabletop space, GII will assign contiguous space if such space is available.

C. The Exhibitor must conduct all of its activities within its assigned tabletop space. The Exhibitor may not use the aisles or other areas of the exhibit hall for its promotional activities.

5. HEIGHT AND SPACE RESTRICTIONS

A. All in-line exhibits, back walls and decorations will be limited to 8 feet in height, not extending more than 3 feet from the back wall, except actual equipment that in normal operation exceeds this height. Permission to exhibit equipment with abnormal heights must be obtained from GII.

B. Exhibits should not project beyond the space allotted and should not obstruct the view or interfere with traffic to other exhibits. The wings of an exhibit should not project more than 3 feet from the back wall.

C. Exhibitors who assemble displays that do not meet these height and space restrictions or that obstruct sight to other exhibitor tabletops will have their displays moved, rearranged, or dismantled at the Exhibitor’s expense.

6. SOLICITATION

A. GII may, at its sole discretion, withhold or withdraw permission to distribute souvenirs, advertising or other material it considers objectionable. Novelty gifts or souvenirs must be submitted to GII for review prior to distribution.

B. Direct selling of products or services is prohibited. The Exhibitor agrees that selling goods or services in the exhibition hall will result in the closing of the exhibit by GII. It is agreed that no refund of exhibit fees and no demand for redress will be made by the Exhibitor or his representative(s) in this event. No soliciting for business shall be permitted in aisles or in other Exhibitors’ tabletops.

C. Exhibitors may distribute samples, catalogs, pamphlets, publications and promotional materials only within their own tabletops.

13

D. No Exhibitor will be permitted to give away any premium items, or to conduct any prize drawings for awards for signing of names and addresses, or other extreme promotions, without first obtaining written permission from GII.

E. Advertising, canvassing, solicitation of business, and other activities are not permitted in the exhibit hall except by companies that have obtained space to exhibit from GII, and then only in the space assigned.

F. Exhibitor’s use of GII’s name and its Smiling G logo or any other GII-owned trademarks is strictly prohibited in any advertising or marketing material on the web or in print or as part of the exhibit unless permission by GII is granted due to affiliations such as GII national sponsorship or GII partnership.

7. TABLETOP MATERIALS/FIRE REGULATIONS

B. An Exhibitor with audible electric sound, motion pictures or other microphones or devices that GII, in its sole discretion, deems objectionable to other Exhibitors will be required to discontinue this method of promotion. GII reserves the right to impose sound limitations on Exhibitors when their promotional activities are interfering with the activities of other Exhibitors or participation and enjoyment of the exhibit hall by Goodwill members.

9. TABLE STAFFING

A. In its best interest, and for its security, the Exhibitor shall keep staff in the tabletop area(s) during all exhibit hours. Each exhibiting company is entitled to up to two (2) exhibit staff badges per tabletop. An exhibit staff badge is for personnel responsible for working in the tabletop space during show hours, and it will not provide access to any other event. Badges must be worn at all times for admission to the exhibit hall. Additional personnel and badges per tabletop can be obtained for $500 per additional individual. This does not apply to sponsors.

10. INSTALLING/DISMANTLING TABLETOPS

A. The exhibit hall will be available to exhibitors as noted on the registration site and event materials for the installation of displays. All exhibits must be operational as noted by event materials. Space not occupied at that time may be reassigned for other purposes by GII. Any Exhibitor failing to occupy contracted space is not relieved of the obligation to pay for such space at the full rental price, and GII shall have the right to use such space as it deems appropriate to eliminate blank space in the exhibit hall.

B. Load out of all tabletops must be completed by 5 p.m. on designated day. No Exhibit may be dismantled before the specified time, nor may any part of the exhibit or equipment be removed, once it has been set up, without permission from GII.

The Exhibitor may not tape, nail or otherwise affix the exhibit or signs to the walls, doors or other components of the tabletop space of the facility in a way that might cause damage. The Exhibitor is liable to the owner of the property for any damage caused by the Exhibitor, its employees or agents. GII or the facility may remove any display, materials or other personal property left in the tabletop space after 5 p.m. on the designated day, and neither GII nor the facility shall have any liability to the Exhibitor for the return of any property so removed or compensation for its value.

In the event of such termination, the Exhibitor waives any and all damages and claims for damages and agrees that the sole liability of GII is to return to the Exhibitor its space fee payment after payment of all tradeshow expenses.
