Exhibit Floor Plan The arrangement of the exhibit hall is shown on the floor plan enclosed. The locations of exhibit space exits and other structures are presumed to be accurate but warranted to be approximate. The arrangement of exhibit booths may be modified by AFGC without prior consent and/or consultation of exhibiting company. 5. Space Assignment Exhibit space will be assigned based on the historical support of the applying exhibit company with AFGC. Every effort will be made to assign the exhibitor to one of the chosen spaces; however, AFGC reserves the right to make the final space assignment and change the space assignment after the acceptance of the application should it be necessary.

AFGC reserves the right to prohibit any exhibit which in their opinion is disruptive, offensive or not suitable for the purpose of the Exhibition. Exhibitors shall not employ the use of live activities which may include but not limited to dancing, sports, use of animals, music entertainment, distribution of food or alcoholic beverages, etc. without the prior consent of AFGC. Items such as balloons, confetti, glitter or other similar items are prohibited in the exhibit hall. Exhibitors must remain within their assigned space and may not overflow into the aisles as this may create a safety risk.

Stored materials in the booth area shall not block or impede access to the exhibit space or cover electrical outlets or wires. 12. Indemnity It is expressly understood and agreed that the exhibiting company will hold harmless and make no claim against AFGC nor any of its officers, members, employees, contractors or agents for any loss, damage to, or destruction of property, nor for any injury that may occur to the exhibitor, its contractors, its agents, or its employees while in the exhibit facility, nor for any damages of any nature or character whatsoever, including legal expenses arising due to participation in the exhibition during installation period, show hours, closed hours and dismantle period. 13. Insurance The exhibiting company agrees to carry insurance for a single limit of not less than one million dollars for their employees, agents, contractors or representatives and guests present at the show. The exhibiting company also agrees to provide Worker’s Compensation insurance providing benefits for the state in which the exhibit facility is located. An umbrella liability policy is satisfactory as long as all areas are covered. 14. Show Cancellation AFGC, its officers, members, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors will not be liable for failure to hold the conference/exhibition as scheduled. Payments for exhibit space will be refunded, less any actual expenses incurred for the exhibition which will be deducted. 15.

During show days exhibitors may have access to the exhibit hall no more than one hour prior to its opening. 17.

Eligibility The exhibiting company must be approved by AFGC in order to exhibit and/or sponsor at a AFGC event. 19.
