EVENT SUITCASING POLICY

TPTA has a zero-tolerance policy regarding suitcasing. Any TPTA Expo attendee (non-exhibitor) who is observed soliciting business (suitcasing) in the Expo Hall will be asked to forfeit their badge and leave the event immediately.

Violators of this policy will be ejected from the event and charged the single booth rate ($1,000), which must be paid prior to registering as an attendee, vendor or sponsor at any future TPTA events. Attendees can report possible violations to TPTA staff.

Suitcasing is defined as any activity by one who has not registered as a sponsor or vendor (i.e. purchased a booth) designed to solicit or sell products or services to other exhibitors or attendees without authorization by TPTA to engage in such solicitation.
