EXHIBITOR FAQS
AGE RESTRICTIONS
Are there any age restrictions to get into the exhibit hall?
For safety and liability reasons, ASCO does not permit any children 18 years of age or younger in the Exhibit Hall during move in or move out. During exhibit hours, children must be supervised at all times. We require that all children are registered and wear a badge or wristband in case the child gets separated from their guardians. Anyone who brings their child should take them to ASCO Headquarters (N427bc) to register them once onsite at the Meeting.
ANCILLARY EVENTS
What constitutes an ancillary event?
An ancillary event is any function held adjunct to an ASCO-sponsored or cosponsored symposia or meetings by an organization other than ASCO or the other meeting cosponsors. All ancillary events must receive ASCO authorization. Once your Ancillary Event Request is approved, you will work with the hotel regarding cost. Please refer to the
Ancillary Event Guidelines for further information.

SESSION ACCESS

Exhibitor Badges do not give exhibitors access to Meeting sessions. Exhibitor Badges allow exhibitors entrance into the Exhibit Hall, Opening Session, Plenary Session and Posters. Exhibitors wishing to attend sessions must purchase an Exhibitor Attendee Badge. An Exhibitor Attendee Badge allows the same access to the Hall as Exhibitor Badges, but also includes access to sessions.
