WELCOME Come and join us! Exhibit at the 2021 Annual Scientific Conference: We have the nation’s largest gathering of foot and ankle surgeons and primary care podiatric medicine physicians.
Connect with the physicians you want to reach.

With news on the vaccine front showing so much promise, we see light at the end of the tunnel. We believe it’s time for our members to celebrate all that they’ve been through this past year. With precautions in place, we intend to thoughtfully move forward with an in-person event. And with your partnership, we intend to make this a “welcome home” celebration for the entire profession! Not only will ACFAS be implementing their own health and safety standards, the Mandalay Bay Convention Center has one of their own. Working with medical experts, the MGM Resorts team has developed a comprehensive plan to welcome back guests. Learn more about their “Seven-Point Safety Plan.”

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW THE DATES May 18-21, 2021 The Annual Scientific Conference (ASC) will offer special events, displays and services to attract registrants and keep them in the Exhibit Hall longer. Below are a few of the things ACFAS does to promote the hall: Announcements in educational sessions and written reminders in Mobile App, tweets, etc., about visiting the Exhibit Hall during the conference.
Badge Scanning for CME credit. Breaks and Extended Lunches giving exhibitors more unopposed time with attendees. ACFAS Job Fair
the HUB Theater
SLEEPING ROOM RESERVATIONS We need your help: please use our official hotels. To secure the amount of meeting and exhibit space required to hold our meeting, ACFAS must guarantee our attendees will occupy hotel rooms at our official hotels. If they don’t, the College incurs financial penalties— which would increase our costs and fees. So, it’s very important that all attendees and exhibitors stay in official ACFAS hotels to keep our costs as low as possible. The link to onPeak, our official housing partner, will be available on the ACFAS website in January 2021.. Please visit ACFAS.org/lasvegas for official hotel listings.

Booths must be kept intact until the closing of the exhibits (presently scheduled Thursday, May 20, 2021 at 2:00 pm). Early dismantling of exhibits is strictly prohibited.

If displays are not removed by midnight, management has the right to remove them and charge the expense to the Exhibitor.
EXHIBIT RULES AND REGULATIONS 19. EXHIBIT HALL HOURS
25. INSURANCE AND LIABILITY
Tentative hours are as follows, but are subject to change in which case Exhibitors will be notified in writing:
The Exhibitor must surrender space occupied by him in the same condition as it was at the time of occupation. The Exhibitor is responsible for all damages to the Exhibit Hall, and for any and all claims or demands on account of any injury or death or damage to property occurring in or upon the Exhibitor’s display area or because of the acts of the Exhibitor, his employees, agents, licensees or contractors.
Tuesday, May 18, 2021: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm Wednesday, May 19, 2021: 9:30 am – 4:00 pm Thursday, May 20, 2021: 9:30 am – 2:00 pm
20. CHARACTER OF EXHIBITS The ACFAS reserves the right to decline to permit an Exhibitor to conduct and maintain an exhibit if, in the judgment of the management, said Exhibitor or exhibit or proposed exhibit shall in any respect be deemed unsuitable. Professional dignity and discretion should be observed at all times. Booth set up and contents may not obscure the view of surrounding Exhibitors’ booth space. Display area may not exceed the 3' sidewall or extend into an aisle causing the obstruction of an adjacent booth. ACFAS may also decline to permit persons, conduct, articles of merchandise, printed matter, souvenirs, catalogs and any other items without limitation, which affect the character of the exhibit. All efforts to advertise, demonstrate and operate the exhibit must be conducted so as not to trespass the rights of other Exhibitors and visitors.
21. SOUND EQUIPMENT/ISLAND BOOTHS Do not point or angle any of your speakers into the aisle. Speakers must face into your booth and sound emitting from the booth space shall not exceed 85 decibels. Companies receiving notices from Show Management to reduce the noise level must immediately comply or be subject to having power to the sound system disconnected.
22. ADVERTISING Advertising materials cannot be distributed outside the Exhibitor’s booth. This applies to distributing flyers, handbills, invitations, magazines, or other advertising materials to hotel rooms of Annual Scientific Conference attendees. Except for the Exhibitor’s booth space, canvassing or distributing materials in the facilities used by ACFAS is forbidden, unless approved by the ACFAS Director of Education Curriculum and Alliances.
23. PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOTAPING Exhibitors, Attendees, Guests and Media are strictly prohibited from taking still photography, video or audio recording of the Exhibit Hall or any educational session or event of the meeting.
24. FIRE REGULATIONS No combustible oils or bottled gases, open flames of any type, no batteries containing electrolyte, nor any corrosive will be permitted in the Exhibit Hall. Questions regarding specific problems should be referred to management who will obtain the necessary rulings from the Las Vegas Fire Marshall.
The Exhibitor understands that neither the ACFAS nor the MANDALAY BAY CONVENTION CENTER maintain insurance covering the Exhibitor’s property and it is the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor to obtain such insurance. Each Exhibitor shall carry comprehensive general liability coverage, including premises, operations and contractual liability coverage of at least $1 million for personal injury liability and $1 million for property damage liability and statutory Workmen’s Compensation coverage with Employers’ Liability limits of at least $100,000. A Certificate of Insurance must be furnished to the ACFAS with final booth payment and is a condition of being permitted to exhibit. The Certificate of Insurance shall name the AMERICAN COLLEGE OF FOOT AND ANKLE SURGEONs and MANDALAY BAY CONVENTION CENTER as additional insureds. The COI should indicate the policy will be in effect over all installation and dismantling dates, May 16, 2021 through May 21, 2021. The COI is necessary even if the exhibitor is using an Exhibit Appointed Contractor (EAC) to provide booth services. Guidelines for EAC insurance requirements will be included in the Exhibitor Service Kit. Exhibitor Liability Insurance Program—$84 Event coverage at the reduced rate of $84. Easy to apply for coverage, a link to the provider will be available at ACFAS.org/lasvegas.
26. EXHIBITOR HOUSING Reduce costs! Stay at an ACFAS hotel! As you may already know, convention centers allocate exhibit space to shows based on the amount of hotel rooms picked up. To ensure that our hotel block is full and that we receive the needed exhibit floor space at the convention center for you, we ask that all Exhibitors book their housing through onPeak, the official ACFAS housing partner. Failure to do so will lead to increased costs to conduct this event. The link to onPeak, our official housing partner, will be available on the ACFAS website in January 2021. Please visit acfas.org/lasvegas for official hotel listings. Poaching Advisory Exhibitors and attendees may be subjected to improper solicitation from unaffiliated hotels, third-party housing agencies, and third-party vendors. Book through trusted ACFAS official contractors. Report any unauthorized solicitations to show management at hjelm@acfas.org.
ACFAS SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE | LAS VEGAS | MANDALAY BAY RESORT & CONVENTION CENTER | MAY 18–21
All exhibit material must be on the table or floor within the allotted space. Attachment of display material to walls will not be permitted. Nothing can exceed booth dimensions. No other area can be used for display purposes. Exhibitors will be allowed in the Exhibit Area 90 minutes before the Exhibit Hall opens the first day and 45 minutes before the exhibits open on Days 2 and 3. Exhibitors may remain in the area for 30 minutes after the hall closes. Each booth must be staffed during show hours. Exhibitors may not enter another Exhibitor’s booth without permission.
Each Exhibitor must make provision for the safeguarding of his goods, materials, equipment and display at all times. General overall security will be provided by the ACFAS, however, neither the ACFAS members, officer representatives or employees, nor MANDALAY BAY CONVENTION CENTER officers, representatives or employees are responsible for any injury, loss or damage that may occur to the Exhibitor or the Exhibitor’s employees or property from any cause whatsoever, prior to, during or subsequent to the period covered by the exhibit contract. Exhibitor assumes responsibility and agrees to indemnify and defend MANDALAY BAY CONVENTION CENTER, its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective owners, employees and agents against any claims or expenses arising out of the use of the exhibition premises.

EXHIBIT RULES AND REGULATIONS 27. CANCELLATION OF EXPOSITION
32. HOSPITALITY/INDUSTRY EVENTS
It is mutually agreed that in the event of total or partial cancellation of the annual conference due to fire, strikes, natural disasters (either threatened or actual), government regulations or causes which would prevent its scheduled opening or continuance, this agreement shall be terminated immediately, and the ACFAS shall determine an equitable basis for the refund of a portion of the exhibit fees, after due consideration of expenditures and commitments already made. Under no circumstances is the ACFAS responsible for any Exhibitor’s expenses (such as travel, lodging, or exhibit shipping), or any other incidental or consequential damages.
Hospitality or Industry Events cannot conflict with the official College scientific programming, and may not be scheduled during the following times:
ACFAS SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE | LAS VEGAS | MANDALAY BAY RESORT & CONVENTION CENTER | MAY 18–21
28. NON-CONTRACTED EXHIBIT SPACE
12
Date Monday, May 17 Tuesday, May 18 Wednesday, May 19 Thursday, May 20 Friday, May 21
Functions Not Permitted 7:30 am – 7:00 pm 7:30 am – 7:30 pm 6:30 am – 7:30 pm 6:30 am – 9:00 pm 7:30 am – 12:00 noon
33. EXHIBITOR ATTENDANCE AT ASC CLINICAL SESSIONS
Persons, companies or organizations that have not contracted with the ACFAS to occupy space in the Exhibit Hall will not be permitted to display or demonstrate products or services, solicit orders, or distribute advertising materials in the Exhibit Hall, parking lots, or outside or inside the hotel(s), and convention center contracted by the ACFAS. Noncompliance with this regulation will result in the prompt removal of the offending person and property from the area.
Exhibitors are welcome to attend the open clinical sessions (excluding programs titled “workshops”) to gain new perspectives on surgical techniques and the perspective of the speakers and attendees. With the increased scrutiny by federal and state governments, and medical organizations themselves, on industry-physician relationships, it is imperative that the College ensures its clinical sessions maintain their objectivity and independence from industry, and foster professional behavior by speakers, attendees, and industry representatives.
29. PRIZE DRAWINGS/GIVEAWAYS/ FOOD & BEVERAGE
Therefore the College expects that industry representatives/Exhibitors:
Prize Drawings and Giveaways are permissible within an Exhibitor’s booth only, with prior approval of the ACFAS Director of Education Curriculum and Alliances. You may post winners’ names in your booth; announcements will not be made over the public address system.
Refrain from asking any questions of the speakers in the meeting room
Do not approach the podium/stage at any time and sit in the rear half of the room to avoid any perception of undue industry presence, and
Hold any questions you may have for speakers until you and the speaker are outside of the meeting room.
Food & Beverage distributed from an Exhibitor’s booth for hospitality is permissible with prior approval of the ACFAS Director of Education Curriculum and Alliances. All supplies must be purchased through the official convention center caterer.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
34. VIOLATION OF RULES AND REGULATIONS 30. SELLING AND ORDER TAKING The purpose of the exhibits is to further the education of meeting attendees through product displays and demonstrations. Order taking within the booth is permitted if conducted in a professional manner. Items sold for delivery on the show floor are not permitted.
31. EXHIBITOR/AFFILIATE SOCIAL EVENTS The ACFAS must review and approve ANY event affecting ACFAS meeting attendees during the inclusive dates of the Annual Scientific Conference, whether they are being held at ACFAS contracted facilities or otherwise. Do not attempt to make reservations directly with convention center or hotel venues. This will forfeit your request for space. For events beginning May 16-21, 2021 a form is provided on page 15. Otherwise, Exhibitors must confine their activities to their allotted exhibit space. No entertainment functions, meetings, courses, or social functions may be scheduled to conflict with Annual Scientific Conference hours, activity hours, or exhibit hours. Entertainment and social functions must be in good taste and conform to the purpose of the meeting. Failure to comply with this request will be in violation of Rules & Regulations (See also, Section 20). Announcements and invitations addressed to members of the medical profession concerning such industry sponsored events should clearly indicate the name(s) of the sponsor and must in no manner imply, directly or indirectly, that the event is a part of or an official activity of the ACFAS.
As a condition of exhibiting, each Exhibitor shall agree to observe all ACFAS policies. The action taken against an Exhibitor for violation of policies will be determined on the basis of the particular circumstances of each case. For example, some infractions will be communicated in a warning notice that may not result in a violation if, in the sole discretion of the ACFAS Exhibits Manager, it is deemed that corrective measures were completed within a timely fashion and no other parties were negatively impacted. Prior year’s warnings and actions may be taken into account in determining actions for the Annual Scientific Conference. The College reserves the right to determine a more severe action, including refusal of or termination of the exhibit, at its sole discretion without progressing through a series of steps.
35. RESERVATION OF RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES Any matters not specifically covered herein are subject to decision by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. The College reserves the right to make such changes, amendments and additions to these rules as it considers advisable for the proper conduct of the exhibit, with the provision that all Exhibitors will be advised of any such changes.
36. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Each Exhibitor shall be responsible for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992 (ADA) with regard to their booth space, including, but not limited to, wheelchair access.
COMMERCIAL POSTER RULES and REGULATIONS APPLICATION MUST BE RECEIVED BY MARCH 15, 2021.
