Management reserves the right to make any revisions necessary to the floor plan at any time. ATC reserves the right to relocate an exhibitor at any time with the understanding that if the exhibitor does not agree with such relocation to the extent that the exhibitor cannot participate in ATC, the deposit and/or full payment for exhibitor space will be fully refunded.

Exhibitors, who are defined as non-profit companies, are eligible to receive the reduced booth price of $500.00 for maximum of one 10' x 10' booth. Proof of non-profit status must accompany completed application. Non-profit space assignment will be confined to a specific area on the floor plan. Non-profit exhibits do not have the option to choose booth space in other locations on the exhibit floor for this reduced rate. Non-profit rental rates include: rental of one 10' x 10' booth space, side and back drape, and one I.D. sign. Subsequent booths requested are charged the regular booth price. Non-profit exhibitors are required to provide carpeting and accessories for their space.

Cancellation or Downsizing of Booth Space

Cancellations or requests to downsize must be submitted to the ATC Exhibit Manager in writing. The date of receipt of exhibitor's written notice of cancellation in the ATC Headquarters office will be the official cancellation date. If space is cancelled on or before February 1, 2011, ATC will retain 25% of the total booth cost. Any exhibitor who cancels space after February 1, 2011, will be responsible for the total booth cost. Refunds for cancellations are not available after February 1, 2011. If written notification of downsizing booth space is received on or before February 1, 2011 the exhibitor is responsible for 25% of the original exhibit space contract, plus the cost of the redefined exhibit space.

Cancellation of Exposition

It is mutually agreed that in the event of cancellation of the American Transplant Congress due to fire, strikes, governmental regulations, war, acts of God, terrorism or causes which would prevent its scheduled opening or continuance, then and thereupon this agreement will be terminated and the American Transplant Joint Council shall determine an equitable basis for the refund of such portion of the exhibit fees as is possible, after due consideration of previous expenditures and commitments.
