Exhibitors ($2,500)

The NESUG Exhibit and Demo Room and General Pre-function area at the annual conference has booth space available for Exhibitors. Booths are available on a first come, first served basis and are subject to approval by SAS and the NESUG Executive Committee. Request for space and payment must be made and approved prior to the Conference Program publication deadlines. Any prospective exhibitor must be promoting SAS software or services for SAS software professionals. No competitive software will be permitted.

General Guidelines:

In order for a company to be considered an Exhibitor, said company must directly provide a product or service to its customers that employ SAS software. Exhibitors cannot promote products that compete with SAS software. They also cannot distribute marketing literature that contains pricing information. No recruiting or soliciting is permitted in the NESUG Exhibit and Demo Room or throughout the conference. NESUG, with input from SAS Institute, shall have complete and final authority in determining whether or not a company can be considered a Exhibitor.
