Additional Information: CleanMed Exhibitor Guidelines
  • CleanMed reserves the right, upon becoming aware of a divergence from Exhibitor Guidelines, to withdraw the company’s invitation to exhibit at CleanMed.
  • Companies which do not inform CleanMed staff of such a divergence from Exhibitor Guidelines (see Exhibitor Guidelines section) at the time of registration may not be refunded any fees if the invitation to exhibit is withdrawn because of CleanMed’s subsequent discovery of this divergence.
General course of action for addressing noncompliance/conflict with the Guidelines:
  • If CleanMed discovers evidence that a company may not meet the intent of the Guidelines, the company will be contacted in writing or by telephone.
  • A reasonable amount of time will be provided for the company to explain or correct a practice that is not consistent with the Guidelines. The timeframe will be dependent upon the magnitude of the issue and the amount of time available before the conference.
  • After notification, CleanMed will work to verify that the issue(s) has(ve) been satisfactorily addressed. Failure to make appropriate changes may result in the withdrawal of the invitation to exhibit at CleanMed.
  • CleanMed's decision is final.
