INDUSTRY SPONSORED SYMPOSIA (ISS)

Definition:

For purposes of these guidelines, an Industry Sponsored Symposium (ISS) is an educational program for which AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ is offered by an organization external to the PAS, is not endorsed by the PAS and not part of the PAS official conference program. These events are scheduled during time slots that do not compete with PAS programs or exhibit hall hours. Space is limited; available times for ISS are noted below.

CME Credit and Compliance with AMA and ACCME Guidelines

The PAS does not provide AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for ISS. Those wishing to hold symposia must obtain credit from another accredited CME provider.

All ISS must be held in compliance with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education’s (ACCME) Standards for Commercial Support of Continuing Medical Education. In addition, although compliance with the AMA’s Ethical Opinion on Gifts to Physicians from Industry is the responsibility of the individual physician, every effort should be made to ensure that PAS attendees are not put in a compromising situation that would be considered a violation of these guidelines. Approval of proposed ISS will be based on these and other regulations as outlined within.

Application/Selection Process

To submit an application follow these steps:

• create an account on the PAS Program and Events site and complete all disclosures during this process
• contact the PAS Program Office to inform them you have created an account and need access to submit

ISS supporters must submit a completed application no later than February 6, 2020. Payment of the educational grant must accompany the application when submitted. Late applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis as space permits.

An application will be considered complete when it includes:

• Rationale for holding the ISS
• Learning objectives
• Complete agenda for the program, including proposed speakers and topics
• Synopsis of program content for publication in the PAS programs
• Complete application with original signatures
• Contact information for accredited CME sponsor of the ISS
• Sample evaluation form
• Description of how evaluation and CME credits will be handled on-site
• Payment

The PAS Operating Committee and Program Committee Chair will review the application and determine its appropriateness based on the program’s scientific merit and audience interest.

Criteria for acceptance of an ISS proposal include the following:

• The topic is timely and of broad interest to the memberships
• The topic meets ACCME guidelines and Standards for Commercial Support, and the content is free of commercial bias for or against any product
• The proposed program is designated for CME credit by an ACCME accredited provider

To avoid the appearance of conflict, current PAS Board, Council, Program Committee and PAS Alliance Board members may not be included as speakers or moderators for an ISS. All correspondence with ISS speakers, including honoraria and expense reimbursement, will be the responsibility of the organizer.

The sponsor will be contacted in writing regarding the committee’s decision approximately one month after review. Applicants may not contact reviewers directly to provide additional information or to check the status of an application. Once a program is selected and approved, it may not be modified.

PAS Rules & Regulations

The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) act for exhibitors and their representatives in the capacity of agent, not as principal. The PAS assumes no liability for any act of omission or commission in connection with this agency, including, but not limited to, any loss or damages suffered by an exhibitor as a result of any act or omission of any vendor, service providers or other exhibitors. Exhibitors and their representatives hereby release the PAS from any and all liabilities for loss or damage ensuing from any cause whatsoever, except for claims for damages or injuries resulting from the PAS failure to fulfill its obligations as set forth in the rules and regulations and booth construction guidelines.

Before any exhibit may be removed from the building, exhibitors must make arrangements satisfactory to the PAS, the Convention Center and the PAS official vendors for the payment of any charges incurred by the exhibitor in connection with presenting their exhibit.

Liability

The exhibitor agrees to protect and keep the PAS forever harmless from any damage or charges imposed for any violation of any law or ordinance whether occasioned by the negligence of the exhibitor or those holding under the exhibitor, as well as to strictly comply with the applicable terms and conditions contained in the agreement between the exhibit hall and the PAS regarding the exhibit premises; and further, the exhibitor shall at all times protect, indemnify and keep harmless the PAS and the Convention Center against and for any and all costs, damages, liability or expense arising from or out of accident or other occurrence to anyone, including the exhibitor, its agents, employees or business invitee, which arise from or out of or by reason of said exhibitor occupancy and use of the exhibition premises or a part thereof. Exhibitors are encouraged to insure themselves against property loss or damage and against liability for personal injury.

Eligibility to Exhibit

The Technical Exposition is an extension of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) program of the PAS. In order for your application to be accepted, your products and services must be related to the practice of pediatrics and you must be in good financial standing with the PAS.

The PAS has the right to withhold approval of the exhibition of products and services that, in its judgment, do not further the education, scientific or practice needs of its members and attendees. At the request of the PAS, an exhibitor shall remove any product or service included in the display for which approval has not been given.

Exhibits Floorplan

Show Management has the right to alter the floor plan for the betterment of the show.

Exhibit Booth Staffing

As a courtesy to the attendees and to fellow exhibitors, it is important that exhibitors open their exhibits on time each day and staff them throughout the day until the scheduled closing of the Technical Exposition on the last day. It is strongly recommended that all exhibitors staff their booths with a minimum of two representatives to ensure adherence to this regulation.

Exhibitor Badges

Exhibitors are encouraged to register in advance. There is no charge for the registration of up to 5 exhibitor representatives per 100 square feet contracted. Pre-registration information will be e-mailed to contracted exhibitors at a later date.

Representatives registered through Exhibitor Registration will be provided with an Exhibitor badge only. Any representative desiring an attendee badge will be required to pay a full PAS meeting registration fee (no exceptions).

Exhibitor badges are personal and nontransferable. Each representative of an exhibiting company must wear the official badge at all times while in the exhibit area. Supplementing the identification with business cards, ribbons or company logotypes is not permitted. Exhibitor badges may be made out only in the name of the company shown on the Exhibit Space Contract. False certification of individuals as exhibitor representatives, misuse of exhibitor badges or any other method or device used to assist unauthorized persons to gain admission to the Exhibit Hall is in strict violation of the PAS Rules and Regulations. Exhibit badges allow exhibitors access to all PAS events at the Convention Center.

Exhibit representatives may register onsite and will be required to complete an onsite registration form, submitting proof of company affiliation at that time.

The purpose of the exhibits is to further the education of meeting attendees through product and service displays and demonstrations.

Products for sale must be the exhibitor’s own, unaltered, marketed products and the products or services must be pertinent to the attendee’s professional interest. The PAS reserves the right to restrict sales activities that it deems inappropriate or unprofessional. Exhibitors are responsible for complying with all business license, sales and tax requirements.

Each exhibitor shall be responsible for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act within their exhibit space.

Cancellation of Exposition

In the event of cancellation of the PAS Exposition due to fire, strikes, governmental regulations or causes that would prevent the scheduled opening or continuance, then and there upon, exhibitors and the PAS have no further obligations to each other, and the PAS management shall determine an equitable basis for the refund of such portion of exhibit fees as is possible, after due consideration of expenditures and commitments already made.

Enforcement of Rules and Regulations

As a condition for exhibiting, each exhibitor shall agree that they, their employees and their agents will observe all PAS policies and regulations as described in this document. Failure to halt or amend these actions or comply with these policies and/or regulations will result in the following penalties:

• A warning will be issued to the exhibiting company, outlining the actions that are in violation of the policy and regulations.
• The first penalty assessed by the PAS will result in the company not accruing the exhibit participation points for the current year.
• The second penalty assessed by the PAS will result in the company losing one-half of its accrued exhibit participation points.
• The third penalty assessed by the PAS will result in the company losing all of its accrued exhibit participation points.
• The fourth penalty assessed by the PAS will result in the company not being eligible to exhibit at future PAS meetings and exhibitions.
• The PAS reserves the right to restrict and/or dismiss at any time exhibit, which it deems undesirable. Violators of the Rules and Regulations outlined in this document will incur a reduction in points as outlined above for each penalty assessed.

Any exhibitor who begins dismantling or packaging their exhibit and/or exhibit materials prior to the close of technical exhibits, will automatically forfeit all priority points earned over the past five years or may not be permitted to participate in future PAS exhibitions.

Whenever practical or appropriate in the view of the PAS, disciplinary action will be progressive, according to the sequence outlined. However, the PAS reserves the right to levy a more severe penalty, including refusal of or termination of the exhibit at its discretion, without progressing through each of the successive steps. In the event of such restriction or eviction, the PAS will not be liable for any refunds or rentals, or other exhibit expenses.

In all interpretations of the Rules and Regulations, the decision of the PAS is final. Any objectionable practices by exhibitors or official suppliers should be reported to the PAS Exposition Manager immediately.
