PPAI Expositions are closed to the general public, to nonmember Suppliers/Business Services (qualified to exhibit) who are not exhibiting, to unauthorized personnel of Distributor firms and to users of Promotional Products.

Distributor and Franchise firms may register authorized personnel to attend all days of the Exposition. Sales Representatives (whether employees or independent contractors) may register only with their firm’s principal’s approval. No one under the age of 16, is allowed access to the show floor, education seminars or events of The PPAI Expo or other PPAI Events during installation/move-in, show days and dismantle/move-out periods. Evidence of age must be presented upon request. Violators of this policy will be asked to leave the event or applicable area. At The PPAI Expo 2025, each member Distributor and Franchise firm is entitled to register an unlimited number of registrants, with waived registration fees based on Membership Tier.

Supplier and Business Services Members not exhibiting at The PPAI Expo 2025 may register and attend free education for no additional cost. Supplier and Business Services Members not exhibiting at The PPAI Expo 2025 wanting to gain access to the exhibit hall floor must pay $750 per registration badge. Any member who transmits or gives a member badge to a nonmember or to unauthorized personnel of member or nonmember firms or registers for admission such a person may be assessed $500 for each violation.

4. CONSENT TO USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES. Registration and attendance at, or participation in The PPAI Expo or any association meetings or events constitutes an agreement by the registrant to fully consent and grant to PPAI, a royalty-free, worldwide right of use and distribution of my image, likeness, and/or voice that is captured in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproductions, and audiotapes by my attendance at or participation in The PPAI Expo or any meetings or events held in relation to The PPAI Expo.

5. EVENTBIT – PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND “OPT-OUT” OPTION. At The PPAI Expo 2025, PPAI, through its registration vendor, Maritz, may choose to utilize technology called eventBit. This technology will allow PPAI to better understand the needs and behaviors of show participants. Each participating attendee’s badge holder will contain a beacon chip to help PPAI monitor what areas draw attendance, which will help PPAI know what exhibitor, product, or service may interest attendees. PPAI will monitor attendee movements on the exhibit hall floor, Product Pavilion areas, convention center lobbies, ballrooms and meeting rooms. Through Maritz lead retrieval devices, exhibitors of The PPAI Expo 2025 will have access to basic information about participating attendees such as demographics and company name, length of booth visits and booth pass-by, but exhibitors will not have access to personal identifiable information such as your name or personal contact information. Only by an exhibitor scanning an attendee badge will they have access to personal identifiable information. PPAI is the sole owner of the eventBit data collected and participating attendee’s personal data will not be shared. If you do not want to participate for any reason, simply visit registration in Bayside B Hall, or the “Help Desk” located in the “Quick Print” registration area to be removed from the PPAI event analytics and eventBit technology.

6. NO ONE UNDER AGE 16. No one under the age of 16 is allowed access to the show floor, education seminars or events of The PPAI Expo or other PPAI Events during installation/move-in, show days and dismantle/move-out periods.

Other operators without reported disability should be advised that the equipment is not accepted for use in Mandalay Bay public areas, including, but not limited to the tradeshow halls at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
