If food samples are to be distributed, LeadingAge Connecticut asks that you provide “trial” size portions to reduce the possibility of spills and littering in surrounding vendor booths. No liquor is to be served on the exhibit floor by any exhibiting company or representatives. VIOLATIONS Violations of any of these regulations on the part of the exhibitor or the employees or agents of the exhibitor shall, at the option of LeadingAge Connecticut, annul the right to occupy space and/or be fined, and such exhibitor shall forfeit to LeadingAge Connecticut all monies paid.
