Use of Exhibit Space:
All exhibits and demonstrations must be confined to the exhibit booth.

No spaces shall be sublet without the consent of the exhibit chairperson. Displays will be permitted on the exhibit floor only by official exhibitors. Distribution of advertising matter by representatives of firms who are not official exhibitors is strictly forbidden. The exhibit chairperson reserves the right to restrict exhibit to a minimum noise level and to suitable methods of operation and display of materials. If for any reason an exhibit or its contents are deemed objectionable by the College of Veterinary Medicine or Auburn University, the exhibit will be subject to removal. This reservation includes person, items, conduct, printed material or any item of poor character which the College of Veterinary Medicine or Auburn University consider objectionable to the conference’s well-being. In the event such eviction or restriction is enforced, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Auburn University will not be liable for refunding rental fees or funds for exhibit equipment rental except at its own discretion. Exhibitor agrees that the College of Veterinary Medicine or Auburn University may substitute the actual space assigned to exhibitor if necessary. Exhibitors are urged to use novel and unique ways to attract attention to their exhibit space. The basic responsibility for attracting meeting participants to the exhibit is the exhibitor’s.
Exhibitor expressly agrees not to dismantle her/his exhibit or begin any packing before the closing hour (5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 17) of the Exhibit Hall. Exhibitor must vacate exhibit hall by 8:00 p.m. on Friday, September 17.
