JEN Exhibit Hall Sound Control Policy
(effective January 2018)

JEN is a conference for music educators, students, professionals and music businesses. The music businesses will conduct their business in an Exhibit hall in a leased booth space, during specific booth hours. Part of that business is trying out the music products; however, there are parameters by which this can be done within the booth space while providing a safe and business friendly environment on the conference floor. JEN is committed to providing a successful environment for its members to do business and the following outlines how this intends to be accomplished.

The following policy must be adhered to and will be enforced by JEN at all times throughout the conference:

• Sound level may not exceed 85 decibels as determined by JEN Floor Management Team.
• Demonstrations may not exceed 5 minutes, impede aisle space or cause disruption to neighboring booths. Exhibitor is responsible for receiving the proper approval from JEN management and securing crowd control

JEN Conference Policy Enforcement Procedure

1. An exhibitor or attendee in violation of this policy will receive a verbal warning by the JEN Floor Management Team
2. If the exhibitor continues to violate this policy, a written warning will be delivered by the JEN Floor Management Team
3. If the exhibitor continues to violate this policy despite the two official warnings, the booth will be closed for the remainder of the day.
4. If an attendee continues to violate this policy, their badge will be removed for the remainder of the conference.
5. If a violation continues the following day, the booth will be permanently closed and/or removed from the conference floor for the remainder of the conference (Booth fees are non-refundable)
6. Please be advised that exhibitors receiving three sound violations will jeopardize their booth location at future JEN Complaints of sound regulation violations may be made directly to the JEN Floor Management Team or reported to the Conference Check-In. Please contact your JEN business partner for more tips and options to help control your sound at the conference.

Steps JEN Takes to Help Support a Positive Musical Experience in a Business Environment for Everybody

• Categorize the conference floor by product types to place products of similar volume together
• Enforce the maximum decibel level at 85 so all booths demo instruments at a “background” level and not at full volume

Steps Exhibitors Can Take to Help Support a Positive Musical Experience in a Business Environment for Everyone

• Utilize sound rooms, shields, and sound absorption material in booth construction
• Utilize headphones during demos
• Do not place demonstration area or demonstration stage on the aisle, manage crowd appropriately
• Do not point speakers into the aisle or other booths, direct them into the booths space
• If the demo product is percussion, please remove the drum throne seat in between demos so attendees do not sit and play in a manner not conducive to background level sound
• If the product is percussion, use drum brushes versus sticks to help control the level of sound
• Place signs in booth near demo instruments stating the sound level and length of time—ensure attendees adhere to these guidelines
• Notify attendees immediately if they are testing equipment too long or too loud and that the JEN Floor Management Team may remove their badge for the remainder of the conference

Steps Attendees Can Take to Help Support a Positive Musical Experience in a Business Environment for Everybody

• Be aware of potentially high-level sound areas and utilize ear plugs
• If the product is percussion, do not sit and play in a manner not conducive to background level sound
• If the product is percussion, use drum brushes versus sticks to help control the level of sound
• Sound levels may not exceed 85 decibels and badges will be removed if violations occur after warnings have been issued
• Support Exhibiting Company’s efforts in controlling sound levels by adhering to this policy—don’t jeopardize your badge privileges

Performance vs. Demonstration

• A “performance” is a public entertainment presentation and is prohibited in booth space. Performances are available on JEN stages only
• A “demonstration” is conferencing the merits of a product or service to a customer and is permitted in booth space, provided the demo adheres to the policy outlined above

• You will receive a confirmation email from JEN after completing your Exhibitor Registration. Please be certain your browser is set up to accept emails by entering the organization’s address into your address book.
• The JEN DECORATING COMPANY will send an exhibitor packet via email. The exhibitor packet will include details related to ancillary furniture, electrical, trash removal, and daily custodial services that require special order from the decorating company.
• SHIPPING GUIDELINES will be detailed in the Exhibitors Packet received from Decorating Services. Exhibitors may not ship displays directly to the hotel; shipments sent to the hotel will be refused.
• BOOTH ASSIGNMENT – Once purchased, your listing and space assignment will be posted as soon as possible on the FAQ tab titled Confirmed Exhibitors
• CONTRACT FOR SPACE – The purchase of exhibit space and the formal notice of assignment by JEN constitutes a contract for the right to use the space allotted. In the event of fire, strike or other uncontrollable circumstances rendering the building unfit or unavailable to use, the contract shall not be binding.
• CONSTRUCTION OF EXHIBITS – All exhibits must be arranged so as not to obstruct the view or interfere with other exhibits.
• RESTRICTIONS IN USE OF SPACE – No exhibitor shall reassign, sublet or share his or her allotted space without the knowledge and consent of the JEN exhibits manager.
• CIRCULATION AND SOLICITATION – Circulars or advertising matter of any description may be distributed only within the booth assigned to the exhibitor presenting such material. No exhibitor shall obtain exhibit space anywhere outside the designated exhibit area, and no firm or organization not assigned exhibit space will be permitted to solicit business within the conference or exhibit area.
• SOUND-PRODUCING EXHIBITS – Exhibits that include the operation of musical instruments or the use of audio equipment should be conducted or arranged so that the noise resulting from demonstrations will not unnecessarily disturb adjacent exhibitors and their patrons. Effective 2018 JEN has adopted a SOUND CONTROL POLICY similar to the NAMM policy.  See more details in the FAQ tab that follows this one.
• INSURANCE & SECURITY – The exhibiting firm acknowledges that JEN nor the Official Conference Hotel has any responsibility for the exhibitor’s property, and the exhibitor takes full responsibility for all risks to the property that the exhibitor brings to the exhibition. The Exhibition hall and adjacent rooms will be locked after hours and on-site security will be on duty. It is recommended that the exhibitor carry exhibit insurance for materials and items being displayed in the event of potential loss.
• RESTRICTIONS IN OPERATION OF EXHIBITS – JEN reserves the right to deny an exhibit application, or restrict exhibits that, because of noise, method of operation, or any reason, become objectionable, and may also prohibit or evict any exhibit which, in the opinion of the management, detracts from the general character of the exhibit as a whole. The restriction includes persons, things, conduct, printed matter, or anything of a character that the management determines is objectionable to the exhibit. In the event of such restrictions, JEN nor the Official Conference Hotel are not liable for any exhibit expense of any type.
• VENDOR CANCELLATION of EXHIBIT SPACE/REFUND POLICY – Exhibit space cancellations received 60 days or more before the conference starts will receive a full refund minus a 20% service charge. Exhibit space cancellations received less than 60 days before the conference starts are not eligible for a refund.
