2023 PoWR Exhibitor

EXHIBITOR ENROLLMENT TERMS

Purpose

The primary purpose of the exhibits at the 2023 Parliament of the World's Religions is to develop and encourage interfaith knowledge and to be of value to the attendees. It is expected that all exhibits will be conducted in such a way as to conform to that purpose. The Parliament reserves the right to deny any vendor booth space or sponsorship if the Parliament feels the exhibit material is not in keeping with the objectives of the Parliament.

The Guiding Principles of the 2023 Parliament are: (1) respectful dialogue: we listen and speak with respect (2) non-proselytizing: we do not attempt to convert others or speak derogatorily about any tradition (3) willingness to explore a wide variety of topics: we embody compassion as we engage in difficult conversations

Booth Space

Each standard booth shall be provided with an 8' high back wall drapery, 3' high side rails with drapery, and an ID sign. The standard furniture package for furnished booths includes (1) 6' table skirted and (2) plastic contour chairs. Additional furnishings and accessories are the sole responsibility of the exhibitor and must be ordered from the official General Services Contractor. Show Strategy will follow up with exhibitors for additional orders and logistical information.

Ownership and Use of Logos and Trademark

Sponsor/Exhibitor agrees it is not authorized or permitted to use the trademarks or logos for the 2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions or corresponding logo designs. In any and all actions surrounding the Event, Sponsor/Exhibitor agrees that any lawful use of Parliament’s trademarks shall be made solely in plain text and solely in purely factual and accurate statements regarding the cooperation and relationship of Sponsor/Exhibitor’s products with the Parliament. Under no circumstances will Sponsor/Exhibitor falsely state or imply any affiliation or partnership with the Parliament where no such relationship exists. Parliament will refuse access to the Event (and related materials and promotional activity) to any Sponsor/Exhibitor violating the above requirements. We encourage Sponsor/Exhibitor to use #2023PoWR to promote the event.

Audio and Video services can be ordered through the General Services Contractor. Exhibits which include the operation of audio and/or video equipment must keep volume levels at a minimum so as not to disturb fellow exhibitors.

Terms of Cancellation

There will be no refunds, and balance for all space contracted must be paid in full. Unpaid balance is due at the time of cancellation. If because of war, fire, strike, Sponsor/Exhibitor facility construction or renovation project, government regulation, public catastrophe, Act of God, or the public enemy or other cause beyond the control of the Parliament, the event or any part thereof is prevented from being held or is canceled by the Parliament, the Parliament shall have no liability to the Sponsor/Exhibitor.
