Exhibitors should have insurance policies covering booth materials and/or equipment transporting from their home base to the show, vice versa, and also during the show. Exhibitors should also have public liability and property damage insurance, including product liability. Check your corporate insurance policy. Most policies will provide riders for such coverage at trade shows. Certificates are to name National Cattlemen’s Beef Association as additional insured with policy date through February 8, 2014. Coverage should be for comprehensive general liability of at least $1,000,000 per personal injury for each occurrence, $500,000 for property damage for each occurrence and full compliance of Workmen's Compensation.

Convention Housing Scam Alert!

**IMPORTANT CONVENTION HOTEL RESERVATIONS ALERT**

It has been brought to our attention that a company called Global Events Group has been contacting exhibitors claiming it can secure hotel rooms through our room blocks. This company is NOT AUTHORIZED to represent the Cattle Industry Convention or NCBA, NOR do they have access to officially contracted hotel room blocks or rates at any of the convention hotels.
 
Please be aware that other non-official housing companies may target you to make hotel reservations for the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.  NCBA has contracted the Nashville Housing Bureau to be their sole hotel reservation services company for Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
 
Securing rooms with any other company other than NCBA 's Official Housing Bureau is at your own risk.  There have been instances in the past when similar companies have gone out of business after taking the reservation and deposit, leaving individuals without hotel rooms and lost deposits.  NCBA will not be held liable for any issues resulting from booking any rooms outside of the official 2014 NCBA Housing Block.
 
The Official 2014 Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show Exhibitor Housing & Registration will open September 23, 2013.
