COVID-19 Safety Information
We’re actively monitoring government and public health guidance for large gatherings and tracking Covid-19 community transmission levels where our events are taking place. In addition, we will modify our event plans to comply with active regulations from government, public health authorities, and rules from host venues and hotels. Check our website ahead of the event for the latest information on the measures we will be taking to keep you safe.
Outboarding Policy
Outboarding is the unethical act of soliciting business outside the terms of an official CCW sponsorship agreement via unauthorized exhibits, demonstrations, offsite events, or branded activations. It may also take the form of commercial activity conducted from a hotel guest room or hospitality suite, restaurant, or other place of public of assembly.
CCW prohibits the practice of outboarding and aggressively enforces this policy to protect our sponsors’ investment and the integrity of our show.
Official sponsors are encouraged to host parties and special events that enhance their presence at Customer Contact Week. Notwithstanding, CCW restricts sponsors from hosting functions and programs that compete with official event programming without explicit approval from their account manager.
Consequences
Outboarding violates Customer Contact Week policy, is an unfair business practice, and violates International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) guidelines.
CCW will expel anyone who violates this policy without a refund. Additional penalties may be levied for repeat offenses, including but not limited to the temporary or permanent exclusion of an individual or entire company from future Customer Management Practice events.
What Should I Do If an Outboarder Contacts Me?
If you receive an invitation to meet before the event, first confirm they’re an authorized exhibitor or sponsor. If they’re not on this list, don’t hesitate to reach out to CCW at [email protected].
If you observe solicitations outside official exhibit booths please notify show management at the check-in desk. CCW will investigate and expel attendees who solicit business in the expo hall aisles or other public spaces.
We may share your information with sponsors of this event who may wish to contact you in relation to special offers, products and services related to your role within your company. If you prefer not to be contacted by the sponsors please email [email protected].
