SPONSOR SCAM WARNING

​There are two primary scams in the association industry from fake third parties.

  1. ​Room Reservations: CAI works directly with the workshop hotel to create an online reservations link with the CAI discounted rate. ​CAI does not work with a third party compa​ny to book rooms. ​If you receive an email and it is not from CAI, please delete the email

  2. ​​Purchase Attendee List:  ​Attendees and Exhibitors receive solicitations to purcha​se attendees lists for our events. CAI does not sell our attendee list. Delete this email, it's a SCAM.​​ CAI will provide a list of attendees to all paid exhibitors and/or sponsors


CAI POLICIES​​

Eligibility: Sponsoring companies will be limited to those providing services, products or publications that are directly applicable to managers of community associations, homeowner leaders in community associations and business partners that service community associations.

Terms and Policies: Full payment must be received before CAI holds a table. CAI reserves the right to refuse any sponsorship application or to cancel any prepaid sponsor registration it deems appropriate to avoid conflicts of interest. 


Cancellation: All payments will be refunded if notification of cancellation is received in writing by June 12, 2024. No refunds will be made after June 12, 2024. Email cancellation requests to creid@caionline.org.

​Failure to Occupy Space: Space not occupied by the close of the installation period will be forfeited, and space may be resold, reassigned or used by CAI. No refunds will be made for failure to occupy space.


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 Workshop activities. Non-sponsoring companies are not permitted to host events at the official hotel during the Workshop.


CAI Suitcasing Policy: ​CAI has a no-tolerance policy regarding “suitcasing," which describes the practice by nonsponsoring companies and/or individuals of soliciting sales or sales leads in Workshop hotel, in the hotel lobby and/or representing their services or soliciting Workshop participants for conflicting social activities and wearing company logo wear in the hotel. 

​Nonsponsoring business partners participating in the Workshop as attendees and/or speakers are prohibited from soliciting business on the Workshop.

​Violators of these policies will be ejected from the show and charged the SIlver sponsorship rate ($6,000), which must be paid prior to registering as an attendee, exhibitor, or sponsor at any future CAI conference or other event. In addition, CAI will have the hotel ca​ncel the illegal function at violator's expense.​


Consent to Use of Photographic Images: Registration and attendance at, or participation in, this Workshop constitutes an agreement by the registrant to CAI's use and distribution (both now and in the future) of the registrant or attendee's image or voice in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproductions and audiotapes.


Anti-Harrassment Policy​: In order to provide all participants at events, including members and other attendees, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, employees, and volunteers, the opportunity to interact professionally and benefit from the event, CAI is committed to providing a safe and productive environment free of discrimination, hostility, harassment, and retaliation based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, or any other characteristic protected by law. CAI has a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation and is committed to enforcing this policy at all CAI events. Visit www.caionline.org/anti-harassment for the full policy.​​


​CAIs Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement:

We firmly believe in the unique strengths of every individual and that diversity makes organizations more successful and communities more fulfilling. By actively cultivating diversity, we benefit from a vastly richer mix of ideas, perspectives, and life experiences that expand our thinking and our possibilities.

B​EWARE OF SCAMS

​There are two primary scams in the association industry from fake third parties.

  1. ​Room Reservations: If you receive an email from a third party about booking your room - delete it as it's a SCAM. They want your credit card number. Sometimes the third party emails look real, they are NOT. 

    CAI works directly with the workshop hotel to create an online reservations link with the CAI discounted rate. ​CAI does not work with a third party compa​ny to book rooms. ​

    Most recent scam is coming from ExhibitorsHub.com. They do not represent CAI or The Grand Bohemian.​

  2. Purchase Attendee List:  ​Attendees and Exhibitors receive solicitations to purcha​se attendees lists for our events. CAI does not sell our attendee list. Delete this email, it's a SCAM.​​
