NEPPA’s Policies and Regulations

The New England Promotional Products Association (NEPPA) produces trade shows and related events for the benefit of qualified distributors/suppliers and their employees/independent contractors actively engaged in the promotional products industry. Any person falsely representing themselves in any manner at NEPPA events will be asked to leave and will be barred from all future events. Any NEPPA member who falsely registers a non-employee/independent contractor as a representative of a NEPPA member company may have their membership revoked for a period of one year, be barred from future events and/or be fined in the amount of $250.00. No recruiting of any attendees shall be permitted at any time or in any manner during NEPPA trade shows or events. No one under the age of 16 may attend. Distributors only may attend - this is not an end-user show. Any hospitality suite or company meeting held at the NEPPA host facility or hotel must be approved by NEPPA in advance. Violations may result in revocation of membership, being barred from future events, and/or fines in the amount of $250.00.

Attendees assume any and all risks including injury by any cause, illness, disability, death, exposure to or infection of COVID-19 in connection with attending the NEPPA Winter Expo and release and hold harmless NEPPA and its respective employees, representatives, affiliates, and agents from any related claims. Attendees agree to adhere to all COVID-related state and local regulations and to comply with NEPPA and Sheraton Hartford South Hotel requirements. Registrants agree not to attend if they are ill or had recent exposure to a COVID-19 case or have COVID-like symptoms.

Registration and attendance at, or participation in the NEPPA Winter Expo or any association meetings or events constitutes an agreement by the registrant to fully consent to NEPPA’s use and distribution (both now and in the future) of the registrant’s or attendee’s image or voice in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproductions, and audiotapes of such events and activities.
