AMERICAN ACADEMY OF IMPLANT DENTISTRY2016 EXCELLENCE IN IMPLANT DENTISTRY | NEW ORLEANS

ELIGIBILITY TO EXHIBITSubmission of an Application/Contract for Exhibit Space or other communication requesting exhibition space at the Annual Conference constitutes an offer on the Applicant’s part to lease exhibition space. Bysubmitting an application or making other communications regarding the leasing of exhibition space, the applicant acknowledges that AAID is under no obligation whatsoever to accept the application or other request for space. Nothing contained in the Exhibitors’ Prospectus Application or other information, or material prepared or provided by AAID, grants or confers any right or rights on an applicant to obtain, lease or rent exhibition space. This exhibition is designed for the display and demonstration of products and services relating to the practice and advancement of the art and science of oral implantology and the profes-sional education of AAID members. AAID reserves the exclusive right to determine the eligibility of all exhibitor space applicants.

CONTRACT FOR SPACEThe information contained in this Exhibitor Prospectus, the Application for Space, and the Formal Notice of Assignment constitute a contract for the right to use the space allocated.

BOOTH ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURESponsor booths are selected first. Because non-sponsor exhibitors will be given the opportunity to select their booth space beginning June 1, 2016, sponsors who apply for sponsorship after June 1, 2016, may not necessarily be guaranteed premium exhibit location. Non-sponsor exhibitors will be given the opportunity to select their booth space after June 1, 2016 based on a priority point system:

• 1 point awarded for each year of Annual Conference exhibit hall participation (1993-2015)• 1 point for each 8' x 10' booth space occupied (1993-2015)• 1 point for every $2,500 donated to the AAID Foundation (May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016). In-kind and auction donations excluded• 1 point for every $5,000 advertising dollars spent in AAID publications (payments received between May 1, 2015 and April 30, 2016)• Exhibit hall participation and booth space points are the only points that accrue annually• 1 point for participants in the AAID Member Advantage Program as of Feb. 1, 2016

The company contact will receive an e-mail from the Academy with a floor plan from which booth selection can be made. Full payment is required prior to a booth assignment. AAID reserves the right to adjust the floor plan, relocating exhibit booths as necessary. AAID will periodi-cally add booth numbers to the list of exhibiting companies on the AAID Web site. In the event of a company merger/acquisition, only the higher priority point total of the two merging companies will be recognized. Merging companies may not combine their priority points to achieve a higher ranking. The AAID Exhibition Manager must be notified in writing in order for the acquiring company to assume the higher point total.

SUBLETTING SPACEThe subletting, assignment or apportionment of the whole or any part of this exhibit space by any exhibitor is prohibited. No exhibitor may permit any other party to exhibit in its space any goods other than those manufactured or handled by the contracting exhibitor in the regular course of its business, nor permit the solicitation of business by others within its space. Advertising material or signs of persons or firms other than those actually engaging the space are prohibited.

EXHIBITOR LISTINGExhibiting companies will be listed in the Program Guide if information is received by the AAID by the established deadline. This publication contains an alphabetical listing with booth number, contact information and a description of exhibitors’ products and/or services.

EXHIBIT HALL INFORMATIONThe Exhibit Hall is carpeted. Booth cleaning is mandatory after move-in and is NOT included in the exhibit rental fee. The Academy has the right to order daily cleaning if booth appearance is unsightly. Cost will be charged to the exhibiting company. The exhibition will be in the Elite Hall. Carpet is Navy Blue. Ceiling height ranges from 10’ to 15’ 4” inside the exhibit hall. See the floor plan on the back cover.

FACILITY PROTECTIONNothing may be taped, posted, nailed, screwed or otherwise attached to columns, walls, drape, floor or any interior or exterior surface of the exhibit hall or furniture contained in the facility. The use of stick-on decals is discouraged and the distribution and display of helium balloons are prohibited in the exhibit hall. Signs, parts of exhibits, supplemental lighting or any other exhibit material suspended from the ceiling or attached to the ceiling of the exhibit hall must be approved by AAID.

GENERAL BOOTH CONSTRUCTION AND ARRANGEMENTSGUIDELINESBooth decorations are to be professional, standard booth design. When designing exhibits and planning for the display of products and literature, for both in-line and island booths, good judgment and consideration for neighboring exhibitors and attendees should be the exhibitor’s primary objective. No signs, parts of exhibits, supplemental lighting or any other exhibit material may be suspended from or attached to the ceiling of the exhibit hall. Exposed or unfinished sides and/or backs of exhibits and displays must be draped or finished so as to present an attractive appear-ance when viewed from aisles or adjoining exhibits. All exhibits will be inspected during setup and, at the direction of the AAID, the decorator will install draping at the exhibitor’s expense to any part of the exhibit deemed objectionable by other exhibitors or AAID.

STANDARD BOOTHAll linear booths are 80 sq ft (8’ x 10’) unless otherwise noted. Booths have a back wall drape that is approximately 8’ high, with sidewall drapes that are 36” high. If booth layout design exceeds 8’ in height, booth design must be approved by AAID staff. All display fixtures over 4’ in height and placed within 10 linear feet of an adjoining exhibit must be confined to that area of the exhibitor’s space that is at least 5’ from the aisle line. The intent of the height and depth restrictions is that each exhibitor is entitled to a reasonable sight line from the aisle regardless of the size of exhibit. Exhibits are not permitted to span an aisle by ceiling or floor covering. AAID reserves the right to relocate any booth in the hall.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACTEach exhibitor shall be responsible for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) within its booth and assigned exhibit space.

REGULATIONSChildren under 12 years of age are not allowed into the Exhibit Hall under any circumstances. This policy has been established for the safety of the children of AAID members and other conference attendees. Your support and compliance are appreciated.

LIABILITYIt is mutually agreed that the Academy and the facilities in which the AAID conference are being conducted shall not be held liable by an exhibiting company for any damage to or for the loss or injuries to the exhibitor resulting from any cause. All claims for any such loss, damage, or injury are expressly waived by the exhibiting company. Each exhibitor by signing an application to exhibit, expressly understands that he/she thereby releases the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the Hyatt Regency New Orleans from and agrees to indemnify each against any and all claims for any such loss, injury or damage. Each party agrees to be responsible for its own property through insurance or self-insurance and shall hold harmless the Academy and the facilities in which the AAID conference are being conducted for any damage caused by theft and those perils normally covered by fire and extended coverage policy.

CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCEAll exhibitors must send an original certificate of insurance to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry by September 19, 2016. No exhibitor will be allowed to set up without the required certificate of insurance.

Your certificate of insurance should include:1) Your company must be listed as the insured.2) You must carry and maintain a minimum of $1 million insurance coverage that provides general liability coverage, coverage against damage to persons and property, and hazard insurance, insuring the exhibitor’s property and its exhibit space, to fully protect it and the AAID and the additional insured (see below) against all risks in connection with its exhibit at the AAID 65th Annual Conference, or under the 2016 Rules and Regulations, or otherwise.3) Required dates must cover the dates of the expo, including set-up and breakdown: October 26-29, 2016.4) All insurance shall name as additional insured Freeman Companies and the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.5) The certificate holder must be listed as follows: American Academy of Implant Dentistry 65th Annual Conference 211 E. Chicago Avenue, Suite 750, Chicago, IL 60611If you do not carry general liability insurance, you may purchase this in the form of event insurance. The AAID and Hyatt Regency New Orleans will not be responsible for damage or loss to any property of the exhibitor, including the shipping containers brought into or used in or about the expo floor, nor for any acts or omissions of the exhibitor’s employees, agents or representatives.

SECURITYAs a courtesy to exhibitors, the Academy will provide security service in the exhibit area. The furnishing of such service is in no case to be understood or interpreted by exhibitors as guaranteeing them against loss or theft of any kind.

CANCELLATION BY AAIDIt is mutually agreed that in the event the AAID Annual Conference is cancelled due to disasters, strikes, governmental regulations or causes that would prevent its scheduled opening or continuance, then and thereupon this agreement will be terminated and the management of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry shall determine an equitable basis for the refund of such portion of the exhibit fees as is possible, after due consider-ation of expenditures and commitments already made.

ABANDONED SPACEAny space not completely set-up by 9:30 am on Thursday, October 27, except with express permission of AAID Show staff, or last in, first out as noted on floor plan, will be regarded as abandoned and may be resold or reassigned by AAID. Each exhibit must be open for the full duration of show hours. An exhibitor who abandons its space prior to the official show close (except with permission of AAID Show Management) may forfeit their points earned in 2016. AAID has sole authority on whether an excuse for delay or abandonment is acceptable.

FIRE AND SAFETY REGULATIONSFederal, state and city fire laws must be strictly observed. Aisles must be kept clear of boxes and crates during installation and dismantling. Empty boxes and crates may not be stored in exhibit booth or behind drapery. Wiring must comply with fire department and underwriters’ rules. All decorations must be flame retardant to the satisfaction of the Fire Department and the Fire Marshall’s requirements. All table coverings, walls, paper, or any decorative material whatsoever must have a flameproof certificate or tag. All certificates must be prominently attached to the material so they can be easily seen by the facility Fire Marshall. This does not apply to your product or any decorations provided by the official service contractor.

HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSALHazardous waste is any material being stored, recycled, or thrown away that could cause injury or death, or pollute air, land, or water. Exhibitors who utilize material fitting any of these criteria should inform the AAID and the Hyatt Regency New Orleans staff of the presence and planned disposition of hazardous waste at the time of space application to allow for thorough planning and preparation.
