EXHIBITOR POLICIES + GUIDELINES 

 
We’re pleased to announce our VETgirl U 2023 Veterinary Conference in Scottsdale, AZ, August 10-13, 2023. At VETgirl U, you’ll join various members of the veterinary community including veterinary professionals, sponsors, industry partners, and media. While we’re not “rule freaks,” here are a few things that you need to know about attending our conference to make it an awesome exhibitor experience for you and your team. By signing up to exhibit at VETgirl U, you are acknowledging that you agree to the following terms, which constitute an agreement between you and VETgirl. This policy applies to all exhibitors, their agents, employees, and representatives that may attend this VETgirl U event or associated events (both on location at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess hotel and off-site).
 
BOOTH GUIDELINES / RESTRICTIONS
All exhibitors must have their booths set up and operational by Friday, August 11, 2023, at 7:00a and tear down no earlier than Sunday, August 13 at 1:00p. Noisemakers, obtrusive lighting/signage, or other undignified methods and materials are prohibited in exhibit booths. No obstructing aisles or sight lines to other booths. No fire hazards, sound, or attention-getting devices (aside from silenced audiovisual material) are permitted. No medical, surgical, imaging, dental, anesthesia, or other demonstrations on live specimens or cadavers of any kind are allowed. No biohazards (like fresh meat) are allowed at booths. No animals or pets unless previously approved by the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. All promotions must be maintained to the confines of your exhibit booth space. Failure to do so may result in future ability to exhibit at VETgirl U.
 
BEHAVIOR
We’re excited about this conference. We want you to be excited also! However, we don’t want any disruptive or harassing behavior. Any form of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment will not be tolerated. If it’s egregious, you will be asked to leave, a refund will not be issued, and you will not be authorized to attend future VETgirl events. (Although we know you will be professional…we also know there are some outliers out there!) No smoking in meeting rooms, the exhibit area, or the hotel.
 
COPYRIGHTS
Content from all learning sessions and other special events is protected by the United States copyright laws and is the exclusive property of VETgirl or its authors. You may not, under any circumstances, share, distribute, publish, repurpose, or sell any such content, or attempt to do so, in any way without written consent from VETgirl.
 
SOCIAL MEDIA
We’re all for promotion through social media. It’s ok to post pictures (Hey! Tag us on Instagram at vetgirlontherun, Twitter @VETgirlontherun or Facebook) and videos < 10 minutes, but no posting of articles, sessions, or materials obtained from a VETgirl event without written consent from VETgirl. Again, if it’s more than 10 minutes of video and/or audio recording, you must obtain written consent from VETgirl. This will respect the wishes of VETgirl as well as our speakers, so their families or boss don’t randomly find them on social media. Share your conference experiences and tag us at #VETgirlU

SECURITY
Exhibitor badges must be always worn while attending to your booth. Access to the exhibit hall after hours is prohibited. Please do not leave valuables unattended in the exhibit hall during conference events or after hours.

REGISTRATION / PAYMENT
Receipt of payment will secure exhibitor booth space. Due to logistics and high demand for exhibit space, refunds will not be authorized once payment has been made.

When signing up for the conference, you’re acknowledging that you have read this document, along with the refund and cancellation policy.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Not that we want to, but VETgirl reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel any event at any time (e.g., if all our speaker's bail, the hotel is no longer standing, an act of God, pandemics, COVID-19, etc.). In that case, VETgirl will refund exhibitor fees for this event, but won’t have any further obligation to you of any type, whether monetary or otherwise. (Please cancel your hotel reservations on your own – we’re not responsible for that or any related expenses related to travel, work, food, etc.). Accordingly, VETgirl shall in no event have any liability to you and shall have no other obligation to you of any type except as expressly stated above. Such right of termination shall not be unreasonably exercised. VETgirl is not responsible for errors or omissions on the website or promotional materials; after all, we’re human. We’ll try our best to keep the website and all communication as up-to-date as possible, however, so you are in the know as best we can. To make sure all our VETgirl attendees are safe, we’ll be monitoring state, federal and CDC guidelines carefully regarding any COVID/pandemic situations.
