EVENT GUIDELINES
| AFFILIATES | EXTENSION ORGANIZATION |
- Affiliate events must not interfere with scheduled AFCA Convention Events or AFCA Formal Education Programming
- Affiliate events are not meant to be an extension of the exhibit space, meaning that they may not be used to demonstrate a product, take orders, or otherwise do business that is meant to be contained within the exhibit hall
| - Extension Organization events may be held during AFCA Formal Education Programming hours provided that meetings are limited to business or niche group pre-approved education sessions
- If an Extension Organization has a sponsored event, that sponsorship must first be approved by AFCA
