OutbOarding
Suitcasing is when an attendee solicits business in the
trade show aisles or other public spaces such as a hospi-
tality suite or a restaurant. Also called outboarded events,
these types of activities are detrimental to the exhibition.
These are unethical business practices and will not be
tolerated. To distribute information or conduct business,
you must have a trade show booth. STMA has the right
to remove anyone who violates this policy.
