EXHIBITOR GUIDELINES
LIABILITY
The exhibitor agrees to make no claim, for any reason whatsoever, against AMLE, the Kentucky International

UNOCCUPIED SPACE
Should any rented exhibitor space remain unoccupied on the opening day or should any space be forfeited
due to failure to make payment, AMLE reserves the right to rent that space to any other exhibitor or use
that space for such purposes as it may see fit without any liability on its part. This clause shall not affect
the obligation of the exhibitor to pay the full amount in the space rental agreement should AMLE not resell
the space. All storage and handling charges due to failure to remove exhibit materials from the display or
storage area at the conclusion of the move-out period shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor. If move-in
and move-out are not conducted during scheduled time, a fee may be assessed.
ACCEPTABILITY OF EXHIBITS
AMLE reserves the right to refuse to sell exhibit space to any company it deems objectionable or at cross
purposes to the association’s mission. Additionally, AMLE reserves the right to require exhibitors to remove
promotional materials from the Exhibit Hall that are deemed objectionable.

The exhibitor agrees to accept full responsibility for compliance with local, city and state ordinances
regarding the installation and operation of equipment. Necessary precautions will be the responsibility of
the exhibitor.
DAMAGES TO PROPERTY
Exhibitors are liable for any damage caused to the building or tables or to any other exhibitor’s property.
Exhibitors may not apply paint, lacquer, adhesive or any other coating to building surfaces or tables.
CANCELLATIONS
Request for cancellation of space must be directed in writing to AMLE, c/o Helen Polansky, hpolansky@
amle.org. Telephone cancellations will not be accepted. 50% of the booth fee and $2,000 of the
sponsorship fee is non-refundable. The remaining booth and sponsorship fees will be refunded if the

GUIDELINES FOR DISPLAY RULES & REGULATIONS
A standard booth (10’ x 10’) will have an 8’ back drape and 3’ side rails. For endcaps, only the center 10’
may be 8’ tall. The front of a booth (5’ from the aisle to the middle of a booth) may not extend any higher
