Host an Event

Exhibitors and Sponsors may not host events (including, without limitation, product

demonstrations, client meetings, and user groups) outside the designated space that conflicts with official conference hours. Companies that do not exhibit or sponsor are not allowed to host events or reserve/rent space in any conference facility during the conference. Exhibitors violating this policy will lose all priority points, which could jeopardize future participation in AFP Conferences.

To be approved by AFP to host an event at one of the AFP-contracted hotels, Exhibitors or Sponsors must complete the Affiliate Request Form. The Events Team will review and contact the point of contact within three business days after receipt of the completed form. By completing this form, the Company acknowledges that they are aware of and will not request an event that will begin or conflict with AFP Official Conference hours.

AFP Official Conference hours:

• Sunday, October 27 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM

• Monday, October 28 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM (Events may start at 6:15 PM)

• Tuesday, October 29 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM (Events may start at 5:45 PM)

• Wednesday, October 30 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM

AFP conference hours are subject to change without notice. To view the most up-to-date schedule, click here. Exhibitors planning events must make arrangements to meet any conference attendees outside the convention center. Exhibitors may not use signs, placards, or any other method to gather conference attendees within the convention center.

AFP has space available at the Omni Hotel for exhibitors/sponsors to host product demonstrations, client meetings, or user groups. Exhibitors/Sponsors wishing to use such designated space should contact the AFP Sales Team.
