Tonight, you will have the opportunity to enjoy Canada from Coast to Coast. From the Atlantic coast, home to the Maritime Provinces represented by their main industry, fishing, to the more urban side of the country with the highlighted cities of Montreal, the capital city of Ottawa and Toronto to the meadowlands, and finally, the Pacific coast, with its splendorous landscape of British Columbia’s Rocky Mountains and the Vancouver Stanley Park totems. Tonight, the United partners invite you join your elevator friends and business associates in honoring the leaders of each sponsoring Association. Let’s toast our Presidents, network with friends, relax and enjoy the sound of Jazz as you enjoy this unforgettable evening. So many people associate Montreal with the circus arts, and with good reason! After all, Montreal is home to the Cirque du Soleil entertainment empire – founded in 1984 and reigned over by local icon, Guy Laliberté. Its theatrical, character-driven approach helped define Cirque du Soleil as the contemporary circus (“nouveau cirque”) that it remains today. Tonight, experience the feel of the cirque with your industry peers by enjoying mini-cirque performances during dinner before dancing the night away. Join us for this unforgettable evening and prepare to be wowed! PLEASE NOTE: you will need to exchange the ticket you receive at registration for a table assignment. A database will be maintained so you can see who is sitting at which table and where the available remaining seats are located.

Names will appear on badges exactly as you indicate on your registration form. Please print clearly. Friday, August 26, 2016 is the deadline for registering for the convention at the discounted rates. Registration fees increase after this date. Complete your registration online at www.unitedconvention. com or complete and return your form along with the appropriate fees (US Funds only) to: United Headquarters, 1298 Wellbrook Circle, Conyers, GA 30012. Payment must accompany registration forms. You may pay by check or credit card. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted. Registration confirmation will be emailed to you within 30 days prior to the event. Cancellations and Refunds Full registration fees and optional activity fees will be refunded if cancellation notice is received in writing on or before Friday, August 26, 2016. Seventy–five percent (75%) of registration fees will be refunded through Friday, September 9, 2016. No refund will be made for cancellation after Friday, September 9, 2016. All cancellations and changes must be submitted in writing to: United Headquarters, 1298 Wellbrook Circle, Conyers, GA 30012 or [email protected]. Lodging We encourage all members to stay at one of the headquarters hotels. The Association secures room blocks and enters into contractual agreements with the hotels years in advance of the meeting guaranteeing a predetermined percentage of occupancy of the hotel’s guest rooms. To protect the value of guest rooms set aside for the event, hotels include a performance clause that provides for monetary damages if fewer rooms than agreed upon are occupied. Failure to meet performance thresholds may result in a significant financial loss to the Associations. All meetings and functions will be held in either the headquarters hotel, Le Westin Montreal or the Palais des congrès de Montréal with the exception of some committee meetings. Hospitality Suites Hotel suites which will be used for hospitality and entertainment must be cleared through NAEC. No exhibits may be set up in hospitality suites. No activity in hospitality suites may conflict with any planned convention event. Suites and meeting space will not be released to non- exhibiting suppliers for entertainment or meeting purposes. Requests must be submitted in writing to: Kerrie Rebmann, NAEC, 1298 Wellbrook Circle, Conyers, GA 30012 or [email protected]. Expo Only Registration Admission to the Exhibit Hall will be open to anyone 18 years or older interested in attending. Admission to the Exposition is included in Delegate and Spouse/Guest registration. Please contact NAEC for an Exhibit Only Registration Form at 770-760-9660 or [email protected]. The Exposition will be open Wednesday, September 21st, 10:30am-5:00pm and Thursday, September 22nd, 10:30am-3:00pm in the Palais des congrès de Montréal – Hall 210a,b,e,f and 220a-e. Suitcasing Policy What is Suitcasing? Suitcasing is when a non-exhibiting company solicits business in exhibit hall aisles, another company’s booth or public spaces within the convention center. Suitcasing practices include passing out brochures and business cards in the aisles or conducting meetings in special areas of the show floor such as the Delegate Lounge and Food Court. What is United’s Suitcasing Policy? Any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, in another company’s booth, or in violation of any portion of the United Exhibition Policy will be asked to leave immediately. Additional penalties may be applied. Please report any violations you may observe to show management. Please Support Our Exhibitors and Our Show – if you are approached by non-exhibiting companies soliciting your business during the trade show, we encourage you to not engage in a business matter with them at that time. Please report the incident to show management. Cirque Ticket Exchange Dinner Dance vouchers included in your ticket packet should be exchanged for a ticket with a table assignment.
