Don ’t Just Ta k e Ou r Wor d For It! GPhA is the strongest, most “in tune” Pharmacy association in the US. Why? Because of strong membership, leadership and grass roots participation. As a business owner/vendor, and proud resident of Georgia, I am appreciative of the members of GPhA. The fact that 17 former GPhA Presidents attended the convention in 2012 says it all! Participation in GPhA ‘s convention by vendors is a great business opportunity. Thank you GPhA! Ed & John Kalvelage - Medicine-On-Time, Kelestan Packaging, Kel-E-Green, PPI Pop Top Vials I think that the GPhA is one of the most proactive entities for the pharmacy profession that I have worked with. They constantly battle legislative issues; maintain programs to encourage Independent Pharmacies to remain Independent through their Academy of Independent Pharmacy; provide opportunities to graduating pharmacy students and the list goes on! We truly value our partnership, which for us, has been lucrative and profitable, showing continued growth every year. I look forward to many more years of supporting GPhA and AIP. Charles Thompson, Senior Program Consultant - Mason Vitamins, Inc. I have been attending GPhA conventions for the past 16 years. I’ve formed great relationships throughout my partnership and continue to exhibit year after year. If you plan to introduce and sell products to independent pharmacies in Georgia this is a great place to start. GPhA is a well attended state convention.
George Chapman, Regional Sales Manager - Kirby Lester, LLC
We are proud to partner with Georgia Pharmacy and look forward to attending the annual meetings each year. It is well-organized, highly attended, and a great opportunity for us to strengthen our relationships with member pharmacists. Overall, the GPhA Annual Meeting is a high-quality event. We wouldn’t miss it! Harris Gignilliat - UBS Financial Services, Inc.

Exhibitor Agenda, Rules & Regulations
1. Management: The principal purpose of the exhibit hall is to offer pharmacists the opportunity to examine the latest pharmaceutical products and equipment and to be educated in the most recent services available to the industry. No exhibitor will engage in any activity inconsistent with this principal purpose. The exhibitor will comply with all instructions of the management and of the Wyndham Bay Point Resort personnel concerning all aspects of the use of exhibit space. Exhibits will be shown only in the official exhibit area. 2. Booth: A Standard 8’x10’ Booth consists of an 8’ high draped back wall and 3’ high side rails. The rental price of the booth includes a 6’ skirted table, two chairs, one wastebasket, and a 7” x 44” inch sign listing the exhibitor’s name and booth number. All display fixtures over 4’ in height and within 10 linear feet of an adjoining booth must be confined to the back half of the booth. No exhibitor will block the sightline from the aisle of any adjoining exhibitor. 3. Space Assignment: Allocation of available space will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis. Every effort will be made to assign the exhibitor to one of its chosen spaces, however, GPhA reserves the right to make the final space assignment or change the space assignment after the acceptance of the application. Payment must be received before placement is made. 4. Default Occupancy: Any exhibitor failing to occupy space contracted is not relieved of its obligation of paying for such space at the full rental price.
GPhA shall have the right to use such space as it sees fit to eliminate blank space in the exhibit hall. Subleasing of any space by exhibitors is prohibited. 5. Cancellation of Exhibit Space: Cancellation of the trade conference or the exhibits at any time for any reason will not subject GPhA to any damages or liability of any kind. In the event of such cancellation, the exhibitor waives any and all damages and agrees that GPhA may, after deducting all costs and expenses, including a reserve for claims, refund to the exhibitor its pro-rated amount of all funds paid by all exhibitors, which will constitute complete settlement to the exhibitor. 6. Exhibitor’s Property: Neither GPhA nor GPhA affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, agents and employees will be liable for damages, loss or destruction to the exhibitor’s exhibits or other property by reason of theft, fire or other casualty, Acts of God, accident or other destructive causes and each exhibitor will lease booth(s) at its sole risk. 7. Liability: The exhibitor will be liable for any and all damages to the Wyndham Bay Point Resort building and facilities and the furniture and fixtures contained therein which will occur through acts or omissions of the exhibitor, its agents, employees or invitees.
Neither GPhA nor the affiliates and subsidiaries, nor the officers, directors, agents and employees, will be responsible for any injury, loss or damage that may occur to the exhibitor, the exhibitor’s employees, agents or invitees or the exhibitor’s property, however caused. The exhibitor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GPhA and affiliates subsidiaries and the officers, directors, agents and employee and s from all claims or liabilities for any such injury, loss or damage. Exhibitors will not schedule, foster or conduct outside activities which would take qualified attendees from the exhibit during exhibit hours. 8. Indemnification: Exhibitor will defend, indemnify and hold harmless GPhA and affiliates and subsidiaries, the officers, directors, agents and employees from and against all loss, claims, causes of action, suits, damages, liability, expenses and cost, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising from or out of any violation or infringement (or claimed violation or infringement) by the exhibitor, exhibitor’s agents or its employees of these RULES, or of any patent, copyright or trade. 9. Interpretation and Amendments: GPhA reserves the right to interpret or amend these regulations as is deemed proper to ensure the success of the exhibit and further its educational purposes. 10. Payment: Applications must be accompanied by full payment of the total rental fee. All space is sold on a “No Refund Basis.” The only exception to this rule is if GPhA cancels the convention/tradeshow for any reason or if we are able to resell the booth space.
