IFT FIRST Suitcasing Policy
Suitcasing is an unethical business practice in which companies will gain access to an event by obtaining event credentials (attendee badge, expo-only badge, etc.) and then soliciting for business within the expo hall or other spaces used for the conference. Solicitation at IFT FIRST by any company that is not an official exhibitor of the event is strictly prohibited. Violators will be removed from the meeting. Policies are subject to change without notice.
