CAI
"SUITCASING" POLICY:
CAI has a no tolerance policy regarding "suitcasing," which is the
practice of non-sponsoring companies or individuals soliciting sales or sales
leads in the lobbies, and/or representing their services or soliciting retreat
participants for conflicting social activities. Non-sponsoring suppliers
participating in the retreat as speakers are prohibited from soliciting
business in the hotel. Violators of this policy will be charged the Tabletop
Sponsorship rate ($6,000), which must be paid prior to registering as an
attendee, exhibitor or sponsor at any future CAI event. It is considered
"bad-form" to conduct business outside of your own tabletop area.
Talking to clients or prospects in-front of someone else's display is also a
violation of CAI policy will not be tolerated.
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
Retreat activities. Non-sponsoring suppliers are not permitted to host OR
attend events at the official hotel during the Retreat. Violators of
these policies will be ejected from the Retreat if applicable, and charged
$6,000, which must be paid prior to registering as an attendee, exhibitor, or
sponsor at any future CAI events.
