Terms and Conditions All Nonprofit, Commercial and Blue Ribbon Preferred exhibit booths are 8 X 8. Each booth will be equipped with a 8 back drape, 3 side dividers, 6 table, two (2) chairs, and a booth identification sign. Exhibitors must confine their activities to the booth space. Exhibitor display will not be allowed to extend beyond booth space into the aisle. Exhibit set-up will be December 6, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. All booths must be completed by 12:00 noon.

Security will be provided. The Frisco Embassy Suites and Convention Center will not receive shipments of exhibit materials prior to the show. An exhibitor kit will be mailed with all shipping information. Exhibitor is not permitted to sublet any part of its space, or to display merchandise of other manufacturers or dealers where no direct business conditions exist between them. Please make your lodging reservations directly with the Frisco Embassy Suites Hotel, (866) 430-2692. Ask for the 2018 Parental Involvement Conference block of rooms. Hotel cut-off date is November 12, 2018. It is mandatory that each exhibitor carry adequate liability and property insurance. Liability insurance should provide public liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage occurring from an accident in your exhibit booth. Property insurance should cover theft or damage of your property from the time materials leave their point-of-origin until they reach their post-show destination including the time on the show floor. Some exhibitors also insure against non-arrival of freight or exhibit material at the show site. The most economical and practical way to obtain this coverage is to contact your current insurance company and ask them for a rider on your existing policy. Due to the short time period of the exhibition, the frequently crowded condition of the exhibit facility, and the vital importance of avoiding any disruption in the orderly operation of the exhibition that might adversely affect other exhibitors, the Statewide Parent and Family Engagement Initiative reserves the sole right to resolve any dispute or disagreement among exhibitors, and the decision made by the Statewide Parent and Family Engagement Initiative shall be final.
