  1. WARNING RELATED TO COVID-19 INFECTION

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious.

Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death.

As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

It is not possible for NAB to prevent against the presence of the disease; and therefore, if you choose to attend the NAB Show you may be exposing yourself to and/or increasing your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. COVID-19 infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.

NAB cannot prevent you from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while attending the NAB Show.

The risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 while attending the NAB Show may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of you and others, including, but not limited to, NAB employees, volunteers, and NAB Show attendees, [list as appropriate] and their employees.

  1. INDEMNIFICATION

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, claims, lawsuits, judgments, losses, and/or liabilities (including attorney fees) arising either directly or indirectly from or related to any and all claims made by or against any of the Released Parties due to bodily injury, death, loss of use, monetary loss, or any other injury from or related to my attendance to the NAB Show or use of any facilities, tools, equipment, or materials related to the NAB Show, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise specifically related to COVID-19.

Data Collection

By registering for NAB Show, you consent to NAB’s collection and storage of the data on the registration form in the United States.

Badge Scanning: Please note: if your badge is scanned by an Exhibitor or Sponsor during NAB Show you are actively consenting to the transfer of your personal data to that company. You have the right to deny being scanned in order to keep your information private. If you later wish to revoke your data from that company you must contact them directly.  If you believe you have been scanned against your wishes, please let us know at support@nabamplify.zendesk.com. 

Email: You will have the opportunity to opt in to additional email communications through registration.  NAB and its vendors, exhibitors and partners always treat your personal information with the utmost care and never sells or gives it to other companies without your permission.

Suitcasing/Outboarding

Suitcasing and outboarding rules and regulations pertain to the show floor, NAB Show public areas, the Las Vegas Convention Center and official Conference hotels.

NAB Show restricts Exhibitors from hosting or participating in competing or conflicting events or activities that occur during official NAB Show hours; this is considered “outboarding”. Exhibitors violating this policy will be subject to cancellation of their booth without refund and may not be invited to participate in future events.

NAB Show has a zero-tolerance policy regarding “suitcasing”. All marketing and promotion must remain within the contracted exhibit space. Marketing materials may not be placed on conference tables or other areas that are not within the boundaries of the booth, both inside and outside of the Exhibit Hall. Show Management reserves the right to remove individuals or discard display materials that do not comply with these guidelines.

Policies subject to change without notice.
