EAC/Non-Official Contractors are permitted on the exhibit floor ONLY after all the information above has been supplied and only during official move-in and move-out hours. Exhibitor personnel, including EACs hired to work in the exhibit, may not solicit from outside of the exhibit space or elsewhere at the Symposium venue, including at educational and scientific meeting rooms and poster sessions. EAC/Non-Official Contractors may not canvass in any part of the Posters, Exhibits, and Food Room or at the Symposium venue. Failure to comply with any or all the above will result in refusal of the EAC/Non-Official Contractor to access the Posters, Exhibits, and Food Room and the ability to service your exhibit.
