Display material and/or equipment must not be positioned in such a manner that it will obstruct or interfere with adjacent exhibits or fire exits.

 

Backdrops/Drapes: All curtains, bunting, and drapes in an exhibit must meet the standards of the fire department in Edmonton, Alberta. Proof that materials are flame-retardant may be required by the fire marshal. If the fire marshal deems the drape not to be of the standard quality, the drape will have to be replaced with materials that can be provided by the official decorator. Any such replacement, including labour, will be at the exhibitor’s expense.

 

Care of Premises: The Doubletree by Hilton West Edmonton does not allow signs or other exhibit material to be fastened to walls, doors, etc. in the exhibit area using nails, screws, staples, masking tape, or any other method. The Exhibitor must not write or paint on exhibit area premises and agree to protect floors at all times.   Exhibitors are responsible for any damage to the facility and/or for any cleaning fees charged to AHLA as a result of activities within Exhibitor’s assigned space. Exhibitors are responsible for any damage to the facility.  

 

Decoration: Exhibitors building special background or side dividers must make certain that the surfaces of such dividers are finished in such a manner as not to be unsightly to Exhibitors in adjoining booths. 

 

Material Handling/Drayage: Exhibitor agrees to ship, at its own risk and expense, all articles to be exhibited. All shipments must be prepaid. No collect shipments will be accepted. We do not have an official showcase supplier, so we will work with each exhibitor if advance shipping is required.

 

Obstruction and Projections: No Exhibitor, at any time, shall obstruct, or allow to be obstructed, aisles or open spaces, and no sign or projection may be hung or projected over the aisleways of open spaces or in any way affect the display or view of neighbouring Exhibitors.

Cancellation by AHLA: If AHLA should be prevented from holding the Conference or part of the Conference due to any cause beyond its control or if it cannot permit the Exhibitor to occupy his rented space due to circumstances beyond AHLA’s control (including but not limited to strike, fire, civil disobedience, inclement weather, lockout, or act of God) AHLA will refund to the Exhibitor the amount of rental paid by him and shall have no further obligation or liability to the Exhibitor.
