Industry Partner Annual Sponsor
Vendor Code of Conduct
Thank you for your support of SMPS Northeast Ohio, whether sponsoring or attending an event. It is through your kind support that we can offer a variety of professional programs to our members and attendees.
To maximize the positive marketing impact for our valued sponsors and maintain a non-promotional focus to the networking portions of our meetings we have developed a chapter protocol guide.
-
Event Sponsors
Promotional material (i.e. sales literature, postcards, signage) distribution and/or set-up must be made by an SMPS Program Committee chairperson, Sponsorship Committee chairperson or by the Sponsor under the supervision of one of the aforementioned authorized SMPS Northeast Ohio board representatives. Only authorized SMPS Northeast Ohio Chapter sponsors are permitted to bring promotional materials to chapter events. Further, for any given event, only the authorized SMPS Northeast Ohio Chapter sponsor(s) sponsoring that particular event may bring and distribute promotional materials for that event. NOTE: this arrangement excludes "Annual Sponsors" who will develop custom promotional arrangements under the authorization and supervision of our Sponsorship Committee chairperson. -
Vendors (Non Sponsoring)
Non-sponsoring vendors may attend SMPS Northeast Ohio events, and are not precluded from offering business cards (only) to other attendees in the normal course of conversations at the event, but may not otherwise broadly and/or randomly distribute business cards (i.e. placing business cards on seats or at tables). Promotional materials by non-sponsor vendors are strictly prohibited from SMPS Northeast Ohio chapter events. -
Benefits
Sponsorship benefits are restricted to those explicitly stated in this Sponsorship Agreement. No other benefits are explicitly or implicitly implied.
Although SMPS reserves the right to revoke permission for vendors and sponsors to attend one or more events should the above protocol be violated, SMPS expects that there will not be any problems with protocol compliance.
Thank you again for your sponsorship!
