Designated Buying Agents

Designated Buying Agents (DBAs) are invited to attend the show on behalf of, or along with, qualified buying retailers.  All DBAs must fill out the Designated Buying Agreement form prior to registering for the show.  The following are regulations for attending:

• DBA's are considered an employee of the sponsoring buying company while at the show.  Under no circumstances may they represent any company other than sponsoring buying company while on the show floor.  This includes their own company.  They may not attempt to sell the products or services of their company to other buyers.  DBA's may undertake business transactions only on behalf of the sponsoring buying company while on the show floor.
• DBAs may not be owners or employees of non-exhibiting suppliers.
• DBA's will not substitute another individual or company without prior approval from show management.  No substitutions may take place after May 28, 2010.
• DBA's must wear a buyer badge indicating their DBA role during the show.
• Show Management may contact any applicant to verify authorization and shall make final ruling on the eligibility to walk the exhibit hall.
• Any person found to be in violation of these regulations will be ejected from the show floor and the sponsoring buyer will lose the privilege of sponsoring future DBAs.
