A Sponsor and/or Exhibitor may use the Event name before and during the Event solely to promote its participation in the Event and solely in compliance with such guidelines as are provided by CFA from time to time. A Sponsor and/or Exhibitor may use Event attendee lists provided to it by CFA solely for the Sponsor and/or Exhibitor’s own business promotional activities, and may not provide the list to any other person or entity (including any affiliated company) or use the lists for any other purpose. The attendee lists (pre-show and post-show) may only be used one time, for one marketing piece. The lists may only be used by the company sponsoring/exhibiting.
