Attendee Decorum Policy
All Baby and Child values its emerging reputation as the most exhibitor-friendly and buyer-friendly trade show in the industry. We want each show to provide exhibitors and buyers with a hospitable environment that will inspire all attendees to keep coming back.
From time to time, exhibitors at trade shows become overly enthusiastic in advancing their agendas against competing exhibitors. Such behavior generally occurs when one exhibitor takes actions at another exhibitor 's booth in a way that impairs the dialogue with buyers.
All Baby and Child wants all show attendees to compete vigorously and effectively. However, All Baby and Child does not want attendees to create disturbances in the shows exhibit halls and meeting space or to make the buying experience uncomfortable for others.
Accordingly, All Baby and Child has adopted a policy of not welcoming to the show any attendee who does any of the following:
- Disparages another attendee or exhibitor's products at any time during the event.
- Arranges for legal papers to be delivered or served on the show floor, in meeting rooms or any other convention center venue during the event. The ABC Kids Expo is not the forum or legal location (permanent address) for the delivery of any legal documents.
- Exhibitors and their representatives may not solicit business outside of their own designated booth space including, but not limited to, exhibit hall aisles, foyer or concourse areas, another exhibitors booth location, convention center restaurants and public areas inside and on the grounds of the Kentucky Exposition Center.
ABC has the sole authority to determine whether an attendee is in violation of these policies. Attendees who do not abide by these rules will be escorted out of the exhibit halls and will be ineligible to register for future shows with ABC.
Children
Children under the age of 16 are only allowed into the show during regular show hours and are not permitted in any exhibit halls, meeting rooms or foyer areas during designated set-up or take-down hours.
Photography
The taking of photographs in the exhibit hall or meeting rooms of the Kentucky Exposition Center is expressly prohibited without the consent of the exhibiting manufacturer and show management. A professional photographer is available for exhibitors booth needs by appointment and on a first come first served basis.
Sales Representatives
All sales representatives must be registered in order to attend the ABC Kids Expo. Sales Representatives must independently represent to the retail trade one or more product lines at this year's show in order to be admitted and must complete a separate Independent Sales Representative registration form.
