The ADS Board of Directors has adopted policies with respect to socialand promotional functions in hotel suites, Tradeshow passes andConvention exhibits. All ADS Convention policies may be viewed in detailat diesel.org/convention

Policy with Respect to Convention ExhibitsAs set forth in its published Repair Standards, ADS is dedicated tohighest-quality, manufacturer-accredited service with parts whichequal or exceed original equipment manufacturers’ standards, but thisdedication is not a factor in the structure and operation of, the ADSInternational Convention & Tradeshow.

ADS disclaims responsibility for, or endorsement of products andservices displayed at the annual Tradeshow. Participation by exhibitoris governed by consideration of free and open competition, and the lerequirements that no restraints be imposed thereon by ADS.

The ADS Board of Directors has adopted the following: Manufacturersand others who occupy suites during the ADS International Conventio& Tradeshow will limit social and promotional gatherings to times whthere are no Association activities taking place. While strictly private

conferences between a suite occupant and an individual firm may occat any time and are not subject to this restriction, functions for whichinvitations are issued to a large group of individuals or which are opeall Convention attendees will be deemed to be in violation of this poFurther, suite occupants who are not exhibitors shall not display prodin their suites for viewing by Convention attendees; as such displaywould circumvent and undermine the purpose and effectiveness of thADS-sponsored Tradeshow. All manufacturers and suppliers are urgedto abide by the policy as stated.
