Non-Exhibitor Solicitation Policy An entity not exhibiting at the Exposition but holding an exhibit demonstration or display in a Las Vegas hotel, meeting room or other non-Exposition venue during the Exposition (“suitcasing”), will lose exhibitor priority points, which will affect space selection at future Expositions. If an Exhibitor cancels their official Exposition space and “suitcases” in any non-official venue during Exposition dates, then the Exhibitor will lose all of its priority points for future Expositions. Photography Notice Due to the sensitive nature of new products and unique booth displays at the Show, photography and/or video recording of any booths within the Exhibit areas by any attendee/exhibitor personnel is prohibited. Exceptions are made only when permission is obtained from the exhibitor whose booth/product is being photographed/videotaped and/or all individuals appearing in the photograph or video. Filming Policy For safety and legal reasons, NAHB and Emerald Expositions, the show manager for the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), strictly limit taping at IBS and KBIS during Design & Construction Week. NAHB and Emerald Expositions require all video and production crews to request permission to record on either show floor, and to apply in advance as either a media production company or an exhibitor videography crew. All production companies and videography crews must pre-register and submit their applications by Friday, February 2, 2024. On-site registration will not be available. Local network news crews are the exception to this rule and may register on site. • A Media Production Company is a crew that is taping for a show that is in current production and booked to air on a recognized network or station. NAHB and Emerald Expositions will determine at their sole discretion whether a network or station is “recognized,” and any such decision shall be final. • An Exhibitor Videography Crew is a camera crew or cameraman contracted by an IBS or KBIS exhibitor to record solely in that exhibitor’s booth for that company’s private/non-broadcast use only. All Videography crews should have registered and completed the required paperwork in advance of the show. Upon approval, crews will be provided with camera tags to gain access to the show floor. • Producers scouting for a show or others who do not meet these qualifications must purchase Non-Editorial Press/Paid Press passes and may not bring cameras onto either show floor. No other individuals other than approved crews will be permitted to carry a video camera into the exhibit area. NAHB and Emerald Expositions reserve the right to remove representatives of any Production Company or Videography Crew from the show if they deem that the company or its representative(s) in any way violated stated policies and/or misrepresented itself or the nature of its business. NAHB and Emerald Expositions furthermore reserve the right to confiscate all recordings taken inside any of the IBS or KBIS exhibit areas or education areas. Anyone removed from the show forfeits their right to any and all refunds, including but not limited to any fees paid, production costs, travel costs and any money paid to their staff and crews. In no event will NAHB or Emerald Expositions be responsible or liable for the out-of-pocket expenditures or other commitments of the Production Company or Videography Crew.
