Show Policies and Guidelines

The Academy Expo is open to exhibitors whose products, programs and services relate to the food, nutrition and dietetics profession. The Academy reserves the right to decline applications for the virtual exhibit from companies whose products, programs or services do not meet the criteria set forth in the Exhibitor Rules and Regulations. Acceptance of an application for the virtual exhibit does not in any way indicate the Academy’s approval or endorsement of an exhibitor’s programs, products or services.

All speakers and presenters are required to abide by the Academy Commercialism Policy, which prohibits commercial or promotional messages in the context of educational sessions.

Updated information coming soon.

In order to best meet the photography requests of FNCE^® Exhibitors, Attendees and Press, the Academy has developed policies to maintain a professional and educational conference environment:

• No Photography or Video capture in Educational Sessions: The Academy hires a professional photographer to capture the excitement of the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo^™ (FNCE^®) educational sessions, Expo Hall and other activities. Due to the distraction of the speakers, we request that you do not take personal photographs during educational sessions. All FNCE^® Attendees submit a photography waiver as part of the registration process, which gives permission to the Academy (and all other media) to use their likeness.
• Authorized Press: Working members of the press are required to check in at the Press Room, receive an authorized press badge and be escorted by an Academy staff person in order to photograph and/or videotape at FNCE^®. Exhibitors who do not want the press to photograph or videotape their booth should inform the Press Room staff onsite, and place visible signage in their booth space.
• Photography/Videography on Expo Floor: We encourage FNCE^® Exhibitors and Attendees alike to share in the excitement of the event, and in doing so, allow pictures to be taken in the Expo Hall. The Academy asks that Exhibitors who wish to take pictures do so in their booth only. If you are participating in traffic building games for Attendees that will be posted on social media channels, please have signage visible to Attendees in your booth stating how and where these pictures are to be posted. In turn, we request Attendees ask permission of Exhibitors before taking photos/videos of their booth, unless there is a sign denoting otherwise. If an Exhibitor requests someone to refrain from taking pictures, and that person continues to do so, Show Management should be notified immediately.

We ask that everyone uphold a professional and respectful environment when taking photographs. If you have any questions related to the Academy’s photography policies, please contact FNCEExpo@eatright.org for details and restrictions.
