SENG‘s mission is to empower families and communities to guide gifted and talented individuals to reach their goals:

intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

Following the suicide of a gifted student in Michigan, the late Dr. James T. Webb founded SENG in 1981 to support and guide the gifted community through education, research and connection.

With the right intellectual and emotional support, gifted people can accept themselves, fulfill the potential of their incredible capabilities, and learn to feel balanced, happy and at peace by working with their high sensitivities. SENG is the only nonprofit organization specifically

supporting the social and emotional needs of gifted individuals.

Prospectus

Since 1981, SENG has been helping gifted, talented and twice-exception-al (GT/2E) people grow through their social and emotional well-being. It has trained countless professionals, aided educators in increasing their knowledge and continuing education credits, and expanded the understanding of what it means to be GTE for people of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs.

Today, SENG is highly regarded in the GT/2E community. It continues to re-eval-uate its impact, benefits, and relevance so it can continue to be inclusive through diverse programming. It also measures its reach so it can continually push its mis-sion and services into communities where there is a great need for GT/2E devel-op effective, beneficial partnerships.

In fact, SENG lowered its membership and conference prices, beginning in 2019, to make it more affordable and inclusive. What matters most is that the GT/2E community is well-supported with resources to help them live their best lives.

SENG’s Exhibitor Hall is moving... to the hall! This year, we’re trying something a bit different. We’ve done away with a separate Exhibitors Hall and will host our vendors throughout the common areas in order to

maximize their networking time with all attendees.

Conference attendees will pass your booths many times a day and have dedicated time to stop and learn about your company.

EXHIBITOR TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please read the Terms and Conditions in full. Complete and return the forms on the following 2 pages with payment OR complete and pay online at www.sengifted.org.

Assignment of SpaceBeginning on January 1, 2019, booth spaces for SENG Houston will be assigned in the order that requests are received and payment is made in full. A basic floor plan will be provided in later editions of this prospectus and to confirmed exhibitors once available. Your choice of booth location will be more readily available with early registration. Every effort will be made to place your booth as close to your choice location as possible. However, the SENG Houston Committee reserves the right to relocate exhibitors or modify the floor plan should it be deemed necessary.

Payment RequirementsPayment is due in full at the time of reservation. Space selections willnot be considered reserved until this payment is received.

Cancellation of Exhibit SpaceCancellations of booth space must be made in writing and refunds for approved cancellations will adhere to the following schedule:• January 30 - May 15, 2019: cancellation fee of 50% of the total booth cost;• After May 15, 2019: No refund.

SENG reserves the right to refund any money paid for exhibit space on this contract and cancel space with no notice required. In case of cancellation of SENG Houston due to act of God, fire, strike or any other circumstances beyond the control of SENG, the exhibitor will be refunded any money paid for booth space, less the pro-rated share for the expenses incurred by SENG in connection with the exhibition. In case of cancellation of SENG Houston for any other reason, or change in the place or date of the exhibition which is unsatisfactory to the Exhibitor, the Exhibitor will be entitled to a full refund of monies paid for exhibit space.

Use of Exhibit SpaceExhibit space is to be used solely for the display of the exhibitor’s products and services offered for sale to the educators and parents of gifted students. Exhibitors are not permitted to sublet any portion of their space or to display merchandise of other manufacturers or distributors where no direct business relationship exists between them. All exhibits must conform to the IAEE Guidelines for Display Rules and Regulations, and must not be of such nature or arrangement to obstruct the view or interfere with exhibits of others. No exhibit material may extend beyond the boundaries of the exhibit space, or exceed the height restrictions. No materials may be suspended from the ceiling or bridged across an aisle. Tape, tacks, nails and other materials may not be adhered to the venue’s walls and fixtures. All demonstra-tions must be confined within the exhibit space. No exhibitor may solicit attendees or distribute literature or other materials outside of his booth space. The height of displays may not exceed 8 feet, with the exception of island and half-island booths located in the foyer where island booths may be as high as 12 feet. Should there be any question on conforming to display rules or interfering with other exhibitors, final judgment will be made by the SENG Houston Committee or SENG management.

Selling PolicyExhibitors may sell products during regular exhibit hours. Exhibitors are responsible for any and all permits required by law or local ordinance. An exhibitor without a Texas location needs a use tax permit. Call the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts at 800.252.5555 for any forms, rules, etc., or complete information can be found at www.window.state.tx.us.

Care of Exhibit SpaceExhibitors must not place any refuse or any materials which will endanger public safety or cause inconvenience to other exhibitors during exhibit hours. Booths must be in order before the opening of the show. Exhibitors shall not injure, mar, mark, paint or in any manner deface the venue, or use nails, hooks, pins, screws or tape on the structure or fixtures. The exhibitor is liable for any and all damages they cause to the building or otherwise in connection with their exhibit.

Insurance and LiabilityInsurance on the exhibit is entirely at the exhibitor’s expense. Each exhibitor must maintain adequate insurance to cover injury, loss or damage to the general public, their employees and property. SENG will not be responsible for the loss of property of exhibitors from theft, damage by fire, water, accident or other causes. Although we will do all in our power to protect the venue against such loss, it is recommended that all exhibitors have representatives in attendance at all times, especially when exhibits are being set up or dismantled, to protect them against loss.

By accepting these rules, it is expressly understood and agreed that the exhibitor will make no claim of any kind against SENG - Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted, or any of its members, volunteers, contractors, or employees, for any loss, damage to, or destruction of goods, or for any injury that may occur to the self or

employees while in the exhibit hall, or for any damage of any nature or character whatsoever. The venue is not liable to the exhibitor for any damage to, or for the loss or destruction of, any exhibit.

Decorations/Equipment ProvidedA booth sign showing booth number and company name will be provided with each booth, as well as 6’ tables with basic linens and 2 chairs. All other furnishings and displays will be at the exhibitor’s expense.

Installation of ExhibitsAll exhibits must be completely installed and ready for viewing by the date and hour the show is scheduled to begin. Exhibits or displays may not be removed from the show until the show has been officially closed. SENG Houston exhibitors install and remove their own exhibits, or appoint a firm to do so, so long as these firms conform to all rules and regulations and do not disrupt the orderly installation and removal of other exhibits. If an outside contractor is used, the exhibitor must furnish SENG with the name and address of the contractor, as well as a certificate of insurance at least 15 days prior to the show. There are certain exclusive contractors with specific responsibilities for services, such as electrical, drapage, cleaning and catering, with which exhibitors must contract.

Removal of ExhibitsAll exhibitor property must be removed from the exhibit area by the end of the designated exhibitor move-out time. In the event that exhibit space is not vacated by that time, show management is authorized to remove, at the exhibitor’s expense, all goods and property of the exhibitor, and SENG or its agents shall not be liable for any damage or loss to such goods or property by reason of such removal.

Conditions of ContractThis contract is subject to all rules and regulations named herein, and also to all conditions the exhibit facility has made available. Exhibitor agrees to abide by all applicable fire, utility and building codes. All points not covered herein are subject to settlement by SENG management, and SENG management reserves the right to make such changes, amendments, and additions to these rules and such further regulations as may be deemed necessary by SENG.

Exhibitor RepresentativeThe signer of the Contract for Exhibit Space shall be the official representative of the exhibitor and shall have the authority to act on behalf of the exhibitor in all matters relating to exhibiting at SENG Houston.

Photo ReleasesExhibitor and representatives agree to allow SENG to use their image and likeness in video, audio and photos for marketing and outreach purposes related to future conferences or engaging the community in its activities. If an individual wishes to not be photographed or videoed while exhibiting at SENG Houston, they must indicate this on the Contract form and a “NO PHOTO” indicator will be applied to their conference badge. It is the individual’s responsibility to notify others they do not wish to have their photo taken. SENG will ensure they do not utilize their image, with the exception of non-identifying crowd or background photos, in its marketing.

Should the exhibitor wish to take photos, audio and video for their own marketing purposes, they are responsible for attaining permission from their subjects. SENG is not responsible for the photo release that extends to third parties. If exhibitors post images on social media, SENG would request that they tag @Sengifted in their posts with #SENGHouston, #SENGHouston19, and/or #SENG.

RecognitionSENG thanks the Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented for allowing SENG to use its giftED18 Rules and Regulations, as modified by SENG for its specific purposes, and for TAGT’s leadership in serving the GTE community in Texas.
