Exhibiting companies are required to staff their exhibit booths at all times when the exhibit hall is official open.
 

A commercial exhibitor will be permitted to register up to six (6) employees of the company for each 10' x 10' booth space reserved. It is the responsibility of the authorized individual signing the application for space to inform all company personnel of the rules and regulations contained in this prospectus.
 

Specific authorization must be obtained from Exhibit Management if an exhibiting company's allotted number of personnel is to be exceeded. Such requests, detailing the unique circumstances causing the allotment to be inadequate, should be made to Exhibit Management in writing prior to the opening date. Spouses of exhibitor representatives may obtain a temporary badge when escorted by the representative and showing appropriate identification.
 

Exhibitor badges do not allow or authorize attendance at ASHG Annual Meeting scientific sessions or social events. If an exhibitor's employees wish to attend scientific sessions above and beyond the Exhibitor's scientific session tickets (two [2] tickets per each 10' x 10' space, i.e., each ticket entitles one person to attend one invited or platform session), they are required to register as a regular scientific registrant and pay the standard registration fee. Scientific session tickets for exhibit personnel can be requested online or by contacting Toney Vogel at tvogel@ashg.org for instructions.
 

The Exhibitor Registration Desk will be open during installation, exhibit hours and dismantling of exhibits. Exhibitors must have a badge to enter the exhibit area. Exhibiting companies will be given the opportunity to register their representatives online in advance of the meeting. Exhibit representatives registered online will receive their badges by mail if their online registration is completed by Friday, October 10, 2008. All representatives registered after October 10, 2008, will be required to pick up their badges on site. Badges for exhibit representatives residing outside the U.S. must be picked up on site at the Exhibitor Registration desk in the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Exhibit Hall C.
 

Exhibitor representatives that are not registered in advance of the show must produce a business card of the exhibiting company that they represent. The card must have their name printed on it, and they must also display a positive form of ID (e.g., driver’s license, military ID, etc.) to obtain a badge.
 

A departing representative turning in his or her badge at the Exhibitor Registration Desk can facilitate rotation of exhibitor's personnel and a new badge will be issued to his or her replacement.
