Exhibitor Rules & Regulations (cont.)

REFUNDS FOR BOOTH SPACE RESERVATIONS: CWEA will refund 50% of the amount paid for booth space if written cancellation is received three months prior to the event. Failure to provide written notice of cancellation, or failure to appear at the conference, re-lieves CWEA of any obligation to refund. RELOCATION OF EXHIBITS: CWEA reserves the right to alter location of exhibits if deemed advisable and in the best interest of the conference. ROLLING STOCK: Special booth spaces may be available on a limited basis depending on the space available at the venue. Exam-ples of rolling stock are sewer maintenance equipment such as van mounted CCTV equipment, hydraulic sewer cleaners, and me-chanical rodders.

The exhibitor is responsible for ordering sufficient size exhibit space for the equipment to be exhibited.

Extra space not occupied by the rolling stock shall be rented at the standard 10 X 10 booth rate less a multiple booth discount (if avail-able.)

10 X 20 and 10 X 30 foot booths shall be inline with the center post and shall only occupy one end-aisle space.

The exhibitor is responsible for notifying CWEA if special orientation of the equipment is required at the time the booth space is or-dered. Example: a CCTV van that has the access doors on the passenger side and requires the back door to face the aisle.

Unless specific arrangements are made with CWEA for outside booth space, (if available) no equipment shall be parked outside at the conference or hotel site.

In order to allow the opportunity for the maximum number of exhibitors to display their products and services, the rolling stock shall be parked either in-line in a 10 foot deep booth space or diagonally in a 20 foot deep space to most efficiently use this space.

The exhibitor is responsible for measuring equipment and for ensuring that equipment will fit within entirely within the space reserved by the exhibitor.

Depending on the venue and booth location, special early set-up or late tear-down may be required to place or remove rolling stock on the exhibit floor. SALES: Order taking is permitted, provided that all transactions are conducted in a manner consistent with the professional nature of the Exposition. The on-site sale and delivery of goods is not permitted.

SECURITY: CWEA will provide perimeter security for the exhibit floor to serve as a presence to inhibit theft. In NO way should exhibi-tors count on this service as personalized protection for their exhibit. Exhibitors are strongly urged to give the security of their material high priority. Computers, peripherals and equipment are highly vul-nerable to loss. You may hire security for your booth at your own cost. If you would like more information, please alert CWEA and they will furnish you contact information for a provider approved by the facility. STANDARDS OF DECORUM: Demonstration and/or entertainment whether using models, professional demonstrators, Exposition in content and costuming. UNIONS: Many services in connection with displays are under local union jurisdiction. Exhibitors must agree to comply with all appli-cable union requirements and must accept responsibility for making their own arrangements in this regard. Exhibitors will be notified when unions are involved. In order to help Exhibitors conform to current union rules and regulations. it is highly recommended that the following statement be included as part of your Exhibitor Contract Information: "In order to conform to current union rules and regulations, it will be necessary for all exhibitors to utilize qualified union personnel for display work and material handling at all times during the show. The placing or setting out of merchandise that is to be displayed does not require union labor and may be done by the exhibitor. In addition, the installation, or dismantle of an exhibit, which does not require the use of tools, or more than one person, and can be accomplished within thirty minutes or less, and is ten feet in width or less, may be performed by the exhibitor. Union regulations do not allow Exhibitors the use of hand trucks, dollies or push carts while on the show floor without teamster assistance. Exhibitors may hand carry items on and off of the show floor, limited to what can be carried by one person in one trip”. UNOCCUPIED SPACE: CWEA reserves the right, should any rented exhibitor space remain unoccupied on the opening day, to rent paid space to another exhibitor, or use paid space for such purpose as it may see fit without liability on its part.

These regulations become a part of the contract between the exhibitor

and the California Water Environment Association. CWEA respectfully asks the full cooperation

of the exhibitors in their observance. All points not covered are subject to decision of CWEA.

Applications will not be accepted unless accompanied by this signed agreement.

Exhibitor Rules & Regulations (cont.)

LIGHT STANDARDS: Flashing lights or other distracting or annoying materials are prohibited.

Those displaying simulated UV lights must mask the lights with smoked plexi-glass or drape so the lights do not disturb neighboring exhibitors. UV lights are not permitted. MUSIC: No exhibitor will play music of any kind. Any fines that CWEA incurs as a result of an exhibitor playing music will be paid by the exhibitor. NOISE STANDARDS: The following noise standards are intended to protect exhibitors and visitors from nuisances and hazards relat-ed to excessive sound levels by establishing maximum tolerances:

Sound level readings will be made in decibels. Sound levels will be measured at the adjoining booth’s border, nearest the source of the noise. Measurements may also be taken at

the aisle edge nearest the sound source. The base sound levels for large exhibit halls (50 or more booths) will be 70 decibels. The base sound level for small exhibit halls (49 or fewer booths) will be 65 decibels. Base sound levels may be adjusted according to exhibit hall characteristics and anticipated hall activity. Any such determination shall

be made by the Exhibit Chair.

Sound levels generated by individual exhibitors above the base sound levels will be considered excessive as follows:

1-4 decibels above the base sound level for five or more continuous minutes during any quarter-hour period. 5-9 decibels above the base sound level for more than thirty continuous seconds during any minute, or more than 20 times in any

hour. 10 decibels above the base sound level at any time.

Outdoor displays are subject to local noise ordinances.

The exhibitor further agrees to indemnify and defend the California Water Envi-ronment Association against any claim arising out of the display of a product or service at the event in question. ODOR: The following offending odor standards are intended to protect exhibitors and visitors from nuisances and hazards related to excessive objectionable odor levels by establishing guidelines. Objectionable odors are defined as odors that offend other nearby ex-hibitors that feel the odors are distracting potential customers at their booths. Food odors such as popcorn are not to be considered objectionable.

Offending odor complaints should be reported promptly to the Exhibit Chair. The Exhibit Chair and appointed CWEA staff will make the final determination of an offending odor. The Exhibit Chair shall notify the exhibitor that generates the odor of the complaint and dis-cuss the options available to eliminate the offending odors. Odors that are determined to be objectionable that are generated by indi-vidual exhibitors shall be eliminated or masked with a light un-objectionable scent. After notification by the Exhibit Chair, the stopping of equipment, covering, spraying an odor masking agent or removing the objectionable odorous material shall be done in a timely manner PAYMENT: Full payment amount must accompany the application. For no reason will booths be held without full payment. PENALTIES: In response to any complaint, Exhibit Chair will review guidelines and issue a warning if the complaint is found justified. If violation of these rules persists, exhibitors responsible will be subject to the following: loss of electrical power; and/or subject to evic-tion from the exhibition. Exhibitors may also be barred from exhibiting at future conferences. PHOTOGRAPHS: Only the exhibitor may grant permission to have his/her exhibit and/or product photographed or videotaped.

Dear Valued Exhibitor:

This 2015 CWEA Annual Conference is being held at the Town and Country Resort and Conference

Center. We expect to have over 1,500 representatives from the water quality field and govern-

ment to attend this educational conference.

In 2015, we have a dynamic new layout that includes two halls, in close vicinity to each other.

Both exhibit halls will have CWEA Learning Centers where we will be able to provide short, hot

topic presentations to attendees, providing another opportunity for attendees to earn contact

hours. Both exhibit halls will continue to offer all of the same exciting activities you have come to

enjoy; including complimentary lunch to all attendees on Thursday, April 30th; Exhibitor Reception,

including drinks and hors d’oeuvres on the exhibit floor with expanded door prizes. The Operations

Challenge will be held in the Atlas Exhibit Hall as shown on the attached exhibits.

Conference technical sessions will cover the most current issues facing the water, wastewater,

recycled water and stormwater field today in new formats for an improved experience and learning

for our attendees. Speakers will discuss the key developments and innovations in operations,

management, engineering, innovative technologies and regulations.

The CWEA Conference Committee is a group of dedicated people working hard to making this

year’s conference a great success for exhibitors. Display hours will be arranged to encourage

attendance at all the exhibits and encourage exhibitor involvement in conference activities.

This Conference will bring together a concentrated group of decision-makers interested in learning

about your products and services. In our 2013 Attendee Survey, 70% of attendees said they

learned about products or services they were unaware of before in the Exhibit Hall, with 82%

stating the products were of interest to them. And 65% said they will recommend at least one

product or service to their company or agency to consider using, that they saw at the conference!

Housing will open in January 2015. The Conference will have rooms available for booking at

negotiated rates at the Town and Country Resort and Conference Center, the headquarter hotel.

If you are interested in exhibiting at the 2015 Annual Conference, please fill out the enclosed Ex-

hibitor Application and Contract Form included in this packet. The most desirable locations in the

Exhibit Halls go fast, so please return it as soon as possible to ensure your company has the best

location on the floor! Please make your check payable to CWEA 2015 Annual Conference. For your

convenience, you may also use a Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card or American Express to make

your payment.

For further information, please call Serena Miller, at (510) 382-7800 ext. 115. We look forward to

your participation at the CWEA 2015 Annual Conference in San Diego, California.

FIRE SAFETY AND HEALTH: The exhibitor agrees to accept full responsibility for compliance with local, city, and state fire, safety, and health ordinances regarding the installation and operation of equipment.

Certificate of Insurance must be furnished if requested by CWEA however, failure to request proof of insurance shall not re-

lieve Exhibitors from carrying the above coverage. CONFLICTS/ISSUES: For any issues that arise during exhibit set-up and hours, CWEA will work with the Exhibitors to handle the issue to determine the best course of action. However, CWEA will not issue a monetary refund for the current year’s booth fees. CONTRACT: The booth regulations and guidelines shall become a part of the contract between the exhibitor and CWEA. All points not covered are subject to decision of CWEA. Applications will not be accepted unless the exhibitor has signed (as part of the applica-tion) that they have reviewed and have received the booth regulations and guidelines policy. DAMAGE LIABILITY: Exhibitors are liable for any damage caused to building floor, walls, columns, or to standard equipment or other decorator property. DECORATION STANDARDS: No combustible decorations, such as crepe paper, tissue paper, cardboard, or corrugated paper, shall be used at any time. All packing containers, excelsior, and wrapping paper should be removed from the floor and must not be stored under tables. In order to conform to local fire ordinances, as well as the National Board of Fire Underwriters, all decorative materials, including fabrics, must be fire resistant and meet with standards established by the Fire Marshal’s Office. Balloons may or may not be allowed due to fire code and infra-red devices. The decorator will advise exhibitors if they are allowed and what fees may apply. No live animals of any size will be permitted within the show facility with the exception of service animals. DISPLAY REGULATIONS: No exhibit may block or interfere with a neighboring exhibit. Height is the most critical dimension of these display rules. The objective is to assure that every exhibitor has an equal opportunity to be seen. In general, greater heights are per-mitted in booths farthest removed from adjoining booths. Lower height limitations prevail where they are necessary to ensure sight lines from aisles.

Specific regulations to particular booth types:

Standard Booth (One or more standard units in a straight line): Maximum display height is 8 feet high. If the display is over 4

feet high it needs to be confined to an area within 5 feet of the back line. Exhibitors with a larger space (30 lineal feet or more) should also be able to effectively use as much of the total floor space as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others. There is a limitation of display fixtures over 4 feet and within 10 lineal feet of a neighboring exhibit.
