Show Policies

Liability, Hold Harmless

By registering for or attending an IAAPA-sponsored Expo or other event, I am aware that the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization.  COVID-19 is extremely contagious.  The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and through the air. People can be infected, show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease unknowingly.  Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death. As of the date, there is no known widely available government-approved cure for COVID-19, and none is anticipated to be fully available by the time of the event.  I am aware that the event is occurring in a public location during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the my attendance at the event therefore could be hazardous. I am aware that even diligent efforts to follow public health guidance and orders cannot guarantee that attendees will not contract the virus that causes COVID-19, and that I could be infected, seriously injured or even die due to COVID-19 or due to activities by me or others on or at the event. 

By registering for or attending an IAAPA-sponsored Expo or other event, I acknowledge and agree that IAAPA shall not be liable for any claims, losses, damages, death, injuries, communicable disease, illness, or other liability which may be sustained by any person who may be on the premises for the event, including but not limited to any registrant, attendee, or agent, employee, representative or guest thereof, or any other person or entity. I agree to hold harmless IAAPA from any and all claims, losses, damages, death, injuries, communicable disease, illness, or other liability whatsoever, whether to property, person or otherwise, that may arise in connection with attendance at the event. 

By attending an IAAPA-sponsored Expo or other events, I recognize and accept that some exhibits, amusement park rides, attractions or other installations of facilities (collectively, "attractions") may pose risk of discomfort or injury to myself or other attendees or damage clothing or property. I recognize that for safety and comfort and in order to participate, I should be in good health and free from heart, back, or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by such attractions, and that expectant mothers should not ride.

IN CONSIDERATION FOR PARTICIPATION AT AN IAAPA-SPONSORED EVENT, I HEREBY ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, AND KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS, SUITS, DAMAGES, COSTS, OR OTHER COMPENSATION OR ADJUSTMENT FROM IAAPA OR ITS OFFICERS OR AGENTS, IN ANY FORM FOR ANY REASON. 

In no event will IAAPA be liable to any registrant or attendee, whether in contract or tort, for any amount in excess of the fees paid by such. In no event shall IAAPA be liable, whether in contract or tort, for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, punitive or special damages or awards, including but not limited to lost profits.

Antitrust Policy

Pursuant to section 2.02 (a) of the association’s bylaws, it is the policy of the association that IAAPA complies strictly with the letter and spirit of all federal and state antitrust laws, rules, and regulations applicable in any jurisdiction in which the association or its members do business. Any activities of the association or association-related actions of its staff, officers, directors, or members that violate these regulations and laws are detrimental to the interests of the association and are unequivocally contrary to association policy. As such, all directors, officers, committee members, employees, and staff will be advised of the areas of antitrust concern to IAAPA and are responsible for understanding and monitoring adherence to the antitrust policy.

This policy applies both to activities within IAAPA and to any joint activities that involve IAAPA with other entities, associations, and organizations. However, the policy is necessarily general and cannot anticipate every issue that may emerge. Therefore, it is very important that IAAPA employees, officers, directors, and members consult with legal counsel whenever questions or issues arise concerning application of this policy and the antitrust laws in general.

Implementation of the antitrust compliance policy of IAAPA shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

  • The association membership, Board of Directors, and all other committee meetings shall be conducted consistent with this policy and pursuant to agendas distributed to attendees; discussions shall be limited to agenda items and minutes of all meetings shall be kept and distributed to attendees promptly.
  • All association activities or discussions shall be avoided which might be construed as tending to: (a) address fees, including raising, lowering, or stabilizing prices; (b) regulate production; (c) allocate markets; (d) encourage boycotts; (e) foster unfair trade practices; (f) assist in monopolization or in any way violate applicable regulations and antitrust laws in any jurisdiction.
  • No officer, director, or member of the association shall make any representation in public or in private, orally or in writing, which states or appears to state an official policy or position of the association without specific authorization to do so.
Photography, Videography and Livestreaming

IAAPA reserves the right to take, record, and use photographs, motion pictures, recordings, or any other records of the Expo for any legitimate purposes, including commercial advertising.

Only escorted members of the Press are allowed to photograph booths. Attendees must obtain permission from the exhibitor before photographing a booth. Selfie sticks and Periscoping or Livestreaming of any kind is not permitted. 

Additional Expo Show Guidelines
  • Personal safety and the security of personal effects is the responsibility of each registrant.
  • No hoverboards or Segways are permitted on the trade show floor.
  •  NOTICE: Weapons of any kind prohibited.
  • Random bag checking may take place during an Expo. Failure to consent or submit to inspection may result in denial of entry.

Failure to adhere to Expo Show Guidelines can result in the confiscation of name badge and removal from event.

Health and Safety

COVID Risk Statement

Before you register, please note:

  1. Public health agencies warn some individuals may be at increased risk in public places. Some government health organizations recommend people 65 years and older, those who live in nursing homes or long-term care facilities, and people with underlying medical conditions (particularly if not well controlled) should either remain home or keep their distance from others. Underlying medical conditions include conditions such as chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma, serious heart conditions, immunocompromised, severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 30 or higher), diabetes, chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis, and liver disease.
  2. Guests, employees, and visitors need to abide by all guidelines and recommendations to ensure their own health and safety and to ensure the health and safety of others. We rely on you to protect yourself:
    • If you’re sick, please don’t participate and encourage your family/traveling party not to participate until everyone is well.
    • Wash your hands with soap and water or sanitize your hands often, and particularly after you touch surfaces touched by others.
    • Avoid touching your face.
    • Maintain appropriate physical distance from others.
    • Cover your mouth and nose with a mask/face covering

Even with precautions in place, there is still some risk of exposure to COVID-19.  We are committed to keeping you healthy and safe and have taken a number of precautions, including those recommended by applicable health authorities, but we cannot guarantee you won’t be exposed to COVID-19.

First Aid will be offered on-site.
