Experience More traffic with PAcE Attract more attendees to your booth by offering them participation credit through the exhibitor ExCE program. AGD members are dedicated to lifelong learning; so this program helps them dedicate their time to your booth!
Approved PACE providers will be listed on the ExCE Scorecard, which will be included in attendee registration materials. Using the ExCE Scorecard, dentists will visit ExCE participants’ booths for a 15-minute educational presentation about their products and/or services to earn continuing education credits. Approved providers can also co-brand their logo with the AGD PACE logo for instant recognition. PACE providers who are interested in participating in the ExCE Program must complete an application form, available from AGD Headquarters. For more information, contact Marge Palonis at [email protected].
PACE providers: •Providequalityeducation. •Servetheemergingcontinuingeducation(CE) needs of the dental community. •Aretrustedbyprofessionalsandlicensingboards throughout North America.
Get PACE-approved today. If you have offered continuing dental education activities for at least 12 months and all courses have a sound scientific basis, you can apply to become PACE-approved by visiting http://www.agd.org/education/pace/apply.
The AGD PACE Application reviews the educational processes used when designing and implementing courses. An AGD standing committee will review your completed application and evaluate it against 13 published PACE standards and criteria. Only CE providers that meet the PACE standards and criteria are authorized to use the AGD PACE logo. Once approved, CE providers are held accountable for maintaining those same high standards. Approvals are granted for no more than four years, and providers must resubmit the application each time they renew their approval to ensure that high standards are maintained. PACE does not approve individual courses and PACE recognition of a provider does not imply endorsement of course content. For more information about AGD PACE, please visit www.agd.org/education/pace or e-mail [email protected].

Applications/Contracts submitted without a deposit will not be processed until the deposit is received. An application/contract must be received in order to secure a booth space. Balance of payment is due March 16, 2009.

The AGD reserves the right to resell this space to another com-pany. For applications/contracts submitted after Jan. 1, 2009, full payment must accompany the application/contract. All booth fees and any past due debts owed to the AGD must be received before booth space can be occupied at the show site.
cancellation Policy: All cancellations must be received in writ-ing on company letterhead. Booths cancelled by Jan. 1, 2009, are subject to a $250 cancellation fee. Cancellations after Jan. 1 and before March 16, 2009, will merit a 50 percent refund based on the total booth cost. No refunds will be made for cancellations after March 16, 2009.
Failure to occupy space: Unless previous arrangements are made in writing with the Exhibits Coordinator, booth space not occupied by the exhibiting company by 9 a.m. on July 9, 2009, may be forfeited without refund to the exhibitor, and the space may be resold or used by the AGD.
Eligibility to Exhibit The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) and the exhibits co-ordinator determine the eligibility of any company or product to be exhibited at the exposition, either before or after proper execution of the contract.
Purpose of the AGD Exhibits Attendees come to the Exhibit Hall to learn and purchase. The exhibits are intended to improve dental education, practice and research. They should complement the meeting and sessions by enabling registrants to purchase, examine, question and evalu-ate the latest developments in equipment, supplies and services relevant to the dental team. All materials and/or equipment should be timely and relevant to dentistry and contain no inac-curate or misleading information.

booth Assignments The AGD will make every effort to accommodate the exhibit booth space as requested by using the criteria outlined below.
The first round of space assignments involved the top 20 AGD Priority Point holders. The second round of space assignments were given to AGD2008Orlando exhibitors. The third round of booth assignments for all exhibitors whose applications are received by Jan. 1, 2009, will be made based on the priority points system.
All applications/contracts received after Jan. 1, 2009, will be assigned on a first-come, first-assigned basis as space permits. Applications received after June 1, 2009, cannot be guaranteed a listing in the Final Program.
If it becomes necessary to relocate an exhibitor for any reason, the exhibits coordinator will contact the exhibitor by phone to discuss alternatives.
Experience more Options Save $200 and have more booth space options by registering before Jan. 31, 2009. Prime areas around the entrances, AGD Resource Pavilion and the food service area are reserved quickly so be sure to indicate on your space application alternate areas you’d prefer if your first options are not available. (See floor plan on page 4.)
Note: A company that has not settled all previous accounts with the AGD will not be assigned booth space.
PriorityPointProgram1. Exhibit Years: One (1) point per booth for every year the company exhibits with the AGD, beginning in 1998.
2. Sponsorship, Donation or Advertising: Take advantage of the additional AGD marketing opportunities to earn added points.

The AGD and the Exhibits Coordinator reserve the right to render all interpretations and decisions, should any questions arise, and to establish further regulations as may be deemed necessary to the general success and well-being of the exposition. The AGD restricts exhibits that detract from the general character of the exposition. This includes persons, objects, conduct, printed material, or anything of a character that may be objectionable to the exhibits as a whole. Exhibits should be presented in a manner that is consistent with the AGD’s policies on sexual harassment and nondiscrimination. All matters and questions not covered in these policies are subject to the final judgment and decision of both associations and the Exhibits Coordinator .

Arrangements for suites and meeting space can be made by calling the AGD at 312.440.4340.
