All persons planning to attend SupplySide West must be registered. SupplySide West is a private trade show open to the trade only, and not open to the public. Individuals who cannot document their direct, professional affiliation to the trade are not qualified to attend the trade show. Click here for a complete list of business type definitions and pricing.

No one under the age of 18 is allowed on the show floor without direct adult supervision at all times. There must be one accompanying adult 18 years of age or older per child. No strollers are allowed on the show floor at any time. At no time are persons under the age of 18 allowed on the show floor during move-in and move-out – even if supervised. This policy is strictly enforced.

All children, regardless of age, require a badge and the completion of a waiver form. If not pre-registered, they must register on-site. Children are not charged a registration fee. Children under the age of 18 are not permitted to attend sessions in classrooms. This can be disruptive to other visitors, the speaker(s) and the recording of the class.

To receive a copy of the waiver form and register a child for the event and please contact Customer Service. 

At Informa Markets, our goal is to connect buyers and sellers and support the flow of business and trade. Our platforms help businesses meet, discover products, trade and grow through major exhibitions, virtual events, online marketplaces, specialist content and data services. 

This can only be achieved if we create and maintain an environment where ALL people are treated with dignity, decency, and respect. As such, we expect every “participant” in any Informa event (in person or virtual) in any manner whatsoever, including, but not limited to, all exhibitors, attendees, speakers, guests, professionals, media, staff members, workers, contractors, vendors, security, or anyone else who participates in any way, to behave appropriately in accordance with our Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Code of Conduct. 

Each participant is solely responsible for their own conduct while participating in the event or any part of the event. Learn more here.

Company promotion, sample and literature distribution by exhibitors must be done within their contracted exhibit spaces, with the exception of designated sponsorships and marketing opportunities. Only contracted exhibitors are permitted to promote their products, services or company at the Show. Unless a marketing opportunity (i.e., sponsorship, showcase, exhibitor-presented seminar) has been contracted by the exhibitor, all company promotion and product sampling must occur within the contracted booth space. This includes, but is not limited to "roaming" characters, handing out flyers, approaching exhibitor booths to sell products, leaving and/or distributing product information in public spaces and Show floor aisles, all of which are prohibited. Exhibitors found doing so will be sent back to their booth space and materials left will be recycled. Visitors leaving or distributing product material will be asked to leave the Show and forfeit their badges. Any suitcasers should be reported to Show Management or on the mobile app.

What is Suitcasing?

Suitcasing is a parasitic business practice in which unethical companies will gain access to an event by obtaining some type of event credential (visitor badge, expo-only badge, etc.) and then solicit business in the aisles or other public spaces used for the conference. If you see someone walking the aisles with a visitor badge that is trying to solicit business to other visitors (or yourself) without having an exhibit space, this would be considered suitcasing.

This provision shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement.
