Exhibit Eligibility Policy

The South Dakota Dental Association (SDDA) views the Exhibit Hall as an integral part of the educational and scientific programs during Annual Session. Exhibitors are limited to firms, organizations, and agencies whose exhibits promote an awareness of products, technologies and services that are recognized and approved by the SDDA as adding value to the SDDA Annual Session. Products or services eligible for exhibiting at the SDDA Annual Session must be germane to, and effective and useful in, the practice of dentistry. Products and services offered by responsible companies that are not related to dentistry, but are of interest to dentists, may exhibit, at the discretion of the SDDA, however not be assigned space until all dental-related companies receive their assignments. The SDDA has the sole right to determine the final eligibility/qualification of any firm, organization, agency, or product for inclusion in the Exhibit Hall. Rulings of the SDDA shall, in all instances, be final. If the SDDA finds that an approved company misrepresented itself to gain approval to exhibit, the SDDA reserves the right to cancel the contract at any time, including while onsite at the meeting. If the SDDA cancels misrepresented company’s contracts, the company is responsible for any fees due to the SDDA or its vendors at the time of cancellation.
