SPONSOR MEAL AND BREAK GUIDELINES

MARKETING GUIDELINES

To ensure that marketing and promotion complement the conference and do not conflict with the conference agenda and its focus on programming issues, the following guidelines have been established:

To avoid conflicts with conference sessions and sponsored events in the conference agenda, no marketing/ promotional events may take place during the dates/times listed below:

    Thursday, September 23 - Noon - midnight
    Friday and Saturday, September 24 & 25 - 7:45 am - 5:30pm
    Sunday, September 26 - 7:15 am - 1pm

These dates/times should be considered a "blackout" period for any promotional/marketing activities.

No promotional materials of any kind, including signs, are to be distributed or displayed anywhere in the hotel except:

  • The exhibit area (by exhibitors only)
  • In sponsor venues during their sponsored meal/break/event
PRPD asks that all conference attendees honor these guidelines.
