IARE members represent more than 100 member call centers from airlines, car rentals, rail lines, cruise lines, riverboats and hotels.

The IARE Annual Conference is the premier event where members can learn about trends and techniques to enhance their operations, engage in valuable networking and idea-sharing activities and see the latest industry products and services. More than 125 reservation/call center managers and executives are expected to attend this conference.

The IARE Exhibition, also called the Supplier Showcase, will provide a showcase of products and services used in reservation/call center operations and management for the travel and hospitality industry. In addition to exclusive showcase time, exhibitor personnel are invited and encouraged to participate in two conference social events. The greatest value from your participation will come from networking opportunities at our social events. These functions allow suppliers to get to know reservation center managers and executives on a more personal level in a relaxed setting. We strongly encourage that your exhibit personnel attend these events.

IARE reserves the right to refuse to rent space to any company whose display of goods or services is not compatible with the general character and objectives of the exhibit.

Sponsor & Exhibitor Responsibilities

Neither IARE, nor its members, officers, staff and management company (Caruso Group International), nor The Quorum Hotel and their representatives or employees will be responsible for any injury, loss or damage that may occur to the exhibitor or the exhibitor's employees or property whatsoever, prior, during or subsequent to the period covered by the exhibit contract.

It is understood by the exhibitor that the nature of the facilities available, the presence or circulation of large numbers of people, the numbers of removable articles in many displays, and various other factors, make it mandatory that each exhibitor shall assume the risk of any such injury, loss or damage.

The exhibitor, by completing this Contract, thereby assumes such risk and expressly releases the above-named parties from all claims for any such loss, damage or injury. The furnishing of security shall not be deemed to affect the non-liability of the above-named parties nor to modify in any way the assumption of risk and release provided for them. If insurance is desired, it must be obtained by the exhibitor.

In case said premises shall be destroyed by fire or the elements or by any cause, or in the case of Government intervention or regulation, military activity, strikes or if any other circumstances make it impossible or inadvisable for IARE to hold the Conference and Exhibition, then and thereupon the Contract shall terminate and the exhibitor shall waive any claim for damages or compensation, except the pro rata return of amounts paid for space, after the deduction of actual expenses incurred in connection with the Exhibit, and there shall be no further liability on the part of either party.

It is recommended that exhibitors obtain adequate insurance coverage at their own expense for property loss or damage and liability for personal injury.

 

It is the responsibility of the each exhibiting company to obtain the appropriate copyright permission and/or music licensing (ASCAP, BMI) for all materials displayed at its exhibit.
