CAI Suitcasing Policy: CAI has a no-tolerance policy regarding “suitcasing,” which describes the practice by non-exhibiting companies or individuals of soliciting sales or sales leads in the aisles, or in the lobbies, and/or representing their services or soliciting seminar participants including social activities. Non-sponsoring suppliers participating in the seminar as attendees or speakers are prohibited from soliciting business in or after sessions, or in the seminar hotel.

Private Party Policy: All hospitality suites and hosted events must be reserved, approved, and paid for through CAI. Hospitality suites/hosted events are not permitted during official conference activities. Non-exhibiting suppliers are not permitted to host events at the official hotel during the conference.

Violators of these policies will be ejected from the show, if exhibiting, and charged the tabletop sponsorship rate ($2,000), which must be paid prior to registering as an attendee, exhibitor, or sponsor at any future CAI conference or other event.
