Non-Solicitation, Suitcasing and OUTboarding Policy

Momentous strictly prohibits the unethical practices of solicitation, ​“suitcasing” or ​“outboarding” by attendees who conduct business at the conference and do not have an exhibit or sponsorship investment at the conference.

“Suitcasing” refers to non-exhibiting/non-sponsoring organizations, companies or individuals who go to conferences as an attendee and solicit business in the tradeshow aisles, session rooms or venue lobbies and common areas.

“Outboarding” refers to non-exhibiting/non-sponsoring organizations, companies or individuals who host meetings, events or demos, etc. outside of the exhibit hall, such as in hospitality suites, restaurants, or public places which are near the conference and encourage conference attendees to leave the conference to attend their events.

Momentous asks that exhibitors and attendees do not engage with individuals who are engaging in Suitcasing or Outboarding activities.

Consequences of Suitcasing or Outboarding
Any attendee or company who is observed to be suitcasing or outboarding will be given a warning and asked to stop their activity. Momentous reserves the right to shut-down onsite events, including meetings and demos, if the event is deemed to be in violation of this or any other Momentous event policy or Code of Conduct and does not have prior authorization from Momentous to take place. Organizations, companies or individuals who do not comply will be asked to leave the conference immediately and may be banned from future Momentous events.

If you observe an act of Suitcasing or Outboarding, please alert Momentous staff immediately or submit a complaint to Jim Mahon, Show Manager at jim@​MomentousExpo.​com. Momentous will investigate the complaint and determine the appropriate course of action.
