Suitcasing and outboarding rules and regulations pertain to the NAB Show New York floor, NAB Show New York public areas, the Javits Center and official event hotels.

NAB Show New York restricts Exhibitors from hosting or participating in competing or conflicting events or activities that occur during official NAB Show New York hours; this is considered “outboarding”.  Exhibitors violating this policy will be subject to cancellation of their booth without refund and may not be invited to participate in future events.

NAB Show New York has a zero-tolerance policy regarding “suitcasing.” All marketing and promotion must remain within the contracted exhibit space.  Marketing materials may not be placed on conference tables or other areas that are not within the boundaries of the booth, both inside and outside of the exhibit halls. Show Management reserves the right to remove individuals or discard display materials that do not comply with these guidelines.
