ELIGIBLE EXHIBITS: The purpose of this Exhibition is to provide a forum whereby suppliers of ingredients, products, equipment, services and technology can meet and sell to companies that produce finished baked goods for sale or resale. As such, all Exhibitor’s products and services must be of this nature.

Associations, educational institutions and government departments are eligible to exhibit.
LIABILITY: Neither BAC, nor Annex Business Media, nor Vancouver Convention Centre, nor the official contractors charged with providing the services can be held responsible for any injury, loss or damage that may occur to the Exhibitor’s employees, agents or property from any cause whatsoever, or which may be sustained by any person who may be on the premises contracted to the Exhibitor, or watching, observing or participating in any demonstration or exhibit of the Exhibitor. Exhibitor and Exhibitor’s contractors and its insurers will not subrogate against BAC or Annex Business Media for theft of, loss of or damage to Exhibitor’s or Exhibitor’s contractors’ property while in transit to, within and in transit from the confines of Vancouver Convention Centre.
Protection against unauthorized removal of property from the booth occupied by the Exhibitor shall be the Exhibitor’s responsibility and that it is the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor to obtain such insurance protection.
NOTE: We will provide security guards from the beginning of move-in, throughout the show period, until the completion of moveout on a 24 hour a day basis, but the furnishing of this service is in no case to be understood or interpreted by Exhibitors as guaranteeing them against loss or theft.
INSURANCE: Exhibitor and Exhibitor’s contractors shall at their sole cost and expense, procure and maintain through the term of this contract, comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury or death and property damage occurring in or upon or resulting from the contracted premises. Such insurance shall name BAC or Annex Business Media as an additional insured. The Exhibitor must also meet full requirements of federal and provincial legislation covering safety at work, duly protecting every person carrying out work for their account.
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY: The Exhibitor is liable for any damage caused to building floors, walls, or columns or to standard booth equipment, or to other Exhibitor’s property. Cost for repairing any damages will be billed to the responsible Exhibitor.
CHARACTER OF EXHIBITS: The general rule of the exhibit floor is “be a good neighbour”. No exhibits will be permitted which interfere with the use of other exhibits or impede access to them or impede the free use of the aisle. Carpeted floor covering for exhibit space is mandatory.
