The ROI on your investment is entirely up to what you put into it.  In honor of your support, we’re excited to bring you the buyers for your products.  We work hard to place exhibits and traffic flow to optimize your exposure strategically.  But we can only do so much.  Our industry is very relationship-driven, and you can build bridges beyond the exhibit hall in many ways.  Bridges are built away from the exhibit table.  Please make the most of your time so you can have fun with us again next year!

Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions represent the contractual agreement between Texas Pain Society, a non-profit organization (the Organizer or TPS) and the Exhibitors and those Exhibitors who also sponsor symposia or other events (Exhibitors).

Your participation is intended to complement the professional meetings and clinical sessions by enabling registrants to review the latest developments in equipment, supplies, and services relevant to patient care. TPS does not endorse any of the products or services that have been accepted for display, exhibit or sale during the meeting.

Conduct deemed unprofessional or disruptive to the meeting will result in the Exhibitor being removed without refund, and the Exhibitor or Supporter prohibited from future meetings. Aggressive sales tactics are not allowed under any circumstance.

Payment Terms

Exhibitors must submit contract online and abide by payment terms below:

  • Prior to October 1, 2024 must submit a 50% deposit with its contract, with the balance paid by October 1, 2024.
  • After October 1, 2024 exhibitors must submit full payment at the time of contract submission. No refunds.
  • Full refunds, less a 25% processing fee, will be granted if requested in writing and postmarked on or before October 1, 2024. No exceptions to this policy will be made.

Conference Housing

October 24, 2024 – October 27, 2024

TPS has secured a limited number of rooms at the following hotel:

Renaissance Dallas Hotel, 2222 N Stemmons Fwy, Dallas, TX 75207

Reservation link will be provided at the time of confirmation.

GUEST ROOM BLOCKS

Exhibitors are strongly discouraged from reserving blocks of guest rooms which may be canceled, as those rooms are then not be available for attendees. Guest room reservation totals must correlate with registrants. If an exhibitor is occupying a room at the host hotel, they will be charged a registration fee. 

Supporters or Exhibitors reserving ten (10) or more guest rooms who then cancel all or a portion of those rooms may be responsible for any hotel attrition fees incurred by TPS. For example, if a Supporter reserves 20 total room nights (10 reservations for 2 hotel nights) and cancels 3 of those hotel nights, that Supporter assumes financial liability for those 3 guest room charges. The total of those canceled hotel nights (hotel room rate + taxes and fees) x canceled nights may be charged to the Exhibitor via TPS invoice and payable immediately. To avoid these fees, TPS recommends not reserving guest rooms until you know your staff’s final travel plans.

Ancillary Events

Independent industry-sponsored events must not compete with official TPS events and must be pre-approved in writing. Failure to have written approval from TPS may result in exclusion from all TPS meetings and events, and payment of any associated hotel or venue cancellation fees. TPS strongly urges all companies to seek TPS’ written pre-approval before incurring event fees to avoid such charges.
