What is the Suitcasing Policy?
RE+ Events restricts exhibitors and other companies from hosting or participating in competing or conflicting events or activities that occur during official show hours. Exhibitors violating this policy will be subject to cancellation of their booth without refund and may not be invited to participate in future exhibitions. Booth Personnel are not permitted to promote the exhibiting company outside the contracted exhibit space. All marketing must remain within the contracted exhibit space. Marketing materials may not be placed on conference tables or other areas that are not within the boundaries of the booth, both inside and outside of the exhibit hall. Show management reserves the right to remove individuals or discard display materials that do not comply with these guidelines. Please note that while RE+ Events has a zero-tolerance policy regarding suitcasing. Any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, or in another company's booth, will be asked to leave immediately.
What is suitcasing?
Suitcasing is a business practice in which unethical companies will gain access to an event by obtaining some type of event credential (attendee badge, expo-only badge, etc.) and then solicit business in the aisles or other public spaces used for the conference. This practice skirts the support of the organizer and the industry. Attendees that sell to exhibitors or other attendees within the exhibit hall, but don't purchase an exhibit to do so, are suitcasing. Typically, suitcasers approach people in the public areas of the show, such as registration and food-service areas, or aisles, and hand out brochures or other marketing collateral. This includes the hotels. This is expressly prohibited at most shows since again, these people are poaching the attendees that exhibitors have paid to see.
What can you do?
Attendees can report any observed violations to the exhibits manager, other RE+ Events staff, or conference security. The exhibits manager will investigate all complaints of suitcasing. RE+ Events recognizes that suitcasing may also take the form of commercial activity conducted from a hotel guest room or hospitality suite, a restaurant, or any other public place in proximity to our event. For the purposes of this policy, suitcasing violations may occur at venues other than the exhibition floor and at other events. It is for this reason RE+ Events staff must be informed of any hospitality suites and expressed consent must be given prior to the event.

Buyer Beware
RE+ Events has become aware of several instances of attendees, exhibitors, and partners receiving solicitations from vendors either impersonating RE+ Events or who are unaffiliated with RE+ Events attempting to mislead consumers regarding room block reservations, the sale of attendee lists, advertising opportunities, etc…
Please exercise caution when interacting with vendors or potential offers related to RE+ and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate contact person, listed below.

Predatory housing reservation offers
We have worked diligently and thoughtfully to secure hotel blocks that are within close proximity to the convention center at the lowest rates. Our goal is to include a mix of different hotel brands at a variety of prices to meet the diverse needs of our participants. Booking through our verified vendors is the only way to guarantee the best rates and safe transactions for housing reservations at RE+. Unfortunately, in the past some exhibitors and attendees have fallen prey to these companies and have either lost significant deposits or have not received the hotel rooms they originally booked.
If you do receive a solicitation from a company claiming to have hotel block reservations for RE+, please notify [email protected] so that we may take any appropriate action. Please remember, we do not sell, trade or rent any of the information we receive from our attendees, exhibitors, sponsors or partners.
