We agree to rent the exhibit booth(s) as indicated above, subject to the American Correctional Association's (ACA) exhibit regulations, including all requirements outlined in this contract and any future communications from Show Management. A nonrefundable and nontransferable deposit equal to 50% of the total booth rental fee is due upon receipt of this signed contract.
It is understood that booth space is assigned based on prime location availability, and the final booth rental fee balance will depend on the assigned location within the Exhibit Hall. Exhibitors who are assigned booths other than those requested will be considered to have accepted the assigned location unless a written request for a change is received by ACA within 10 days of the date on ACA's booth assignment confirmation.
The remaining 50% booth rental fee balance is payable upon receipt of an invoice. If a written cancellation request is received by ACA on or before June 15, 2026, the exhibitor will receive a refund of any amount paid in excess of the 50% nonrefundable deposit. After June 15, 2026, no refunds will be issued for any amount. Exhibitors applying after June 15, 2026, must submit the full booth rental fee, none of which is refundable. Companies will not be listed in the 156 Congress of Correction Conference Program Book unless the booth balance is paid in full.
Exhibit booths are not transferable and may not be sold, subleased, or assigned to another company by the original contracting company.
All exhibitors are required to have carpet or another form of professional floor covering in their booth. Any exhibitor without proper flooring by 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 30, 2026, will have a carpet order placed by Show Management, with all associated costs billed to the exhibitor.
Exhibits must maintain a professional appearance, including flooring and furnishings. Carpet and furniture can be rented through Hargrove. ACA reserves the right to require updates or replacements to any booth elements that do not meet professional standards.
All exhibitors must maintain their exhibit through the conclusion of the grand prize giveaway on Saturday, August 1, 2026. Early breakdown of exhibit space will result in a $500 penalty.
By submitting this Booth Reservation Contract, I confirm I am authorized to act on behalf of my company, I have read and understand the terms of this agreement and related materials, and this contract will be considered complete and binding only upon ACA's acceptance..
