2024 SPONSOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. SPONSOR REGISTRATION
MWACD reserves the right to deny registration, without recourse to any prospective sponsors it deems are not in the best interest of the event as a whole. In the case of a denied application, all money collected by MWACD will be refunded to the sponsoring company.
2. ASSIGNMENT OF EXHIBIT TABLES
All exhibit table assignments will be made on a first-received (time-stamped), first-assigned basis, with priority given to major sponsors. No table assignments will be confirmed until MWACD receives full payment. Every effort will be made to assign sponsors with their stated exhibit table location preferences; however, MWACD cannot guarantee the locations will be available. Registering and paying early will increase the possibility of receiving a preferred location. Should all preferred locations be assigned, MWACD reserves the right to assign exhibitor table space from available locations.
3. SPONSORSHIP CANCELLATION OR REDUCTION REFUNDS
Notification of a sponsor’s decision to cancel or reduce their sponsorship level must be made in writing to oc@mwacd.org. The effective date of a sponsor’s cancellation or reduction will be the date on which the written notice is received by Sponsorship Management.
If sponsorship is canceled or reduced between the dates of application received and August 15, 2024, 50% of the total cost will be retained.
No refunds will be issued if sponsorship is canceled or reduced after August 15, 2024 to the date of the meeting. The company will be responsible for the full cost of the sponsorship.
4. EVENT CANCELLATION POLICY
In the unlikely event the 2024 MWACD Annual Meeting is canceled due to events beyond MWACD’s control (e.g., COVID-19), the following recourse is offered to sponsors:
Option 1: Sponsorship amount refunded in full through August 15, 2024, refunded less 10% after August 15, 2024.
Option 2: Sponsor registration rolled forward to the 2025 MWACD Annual meeting.
This policy only applies to a full meeting cancellation originated by MWACD. For cancellations originated by the sponsor, for any reason including COVID-19 concerns, the standard cancellation policy applies.
