Prohibition Upon Sales    

Publishing companies are permitted to sell oncology-related books and journals during Exhibit Hall hours. Selling is otherwise prohibited in the booth unless an exception has been granted in writing from ASCO. Sales related to fundraising activities are prohibited under Section 4.3(L) of the Policy for Exhibitors and Other Organizations at ASCO Meetings.

All other exhibiting companies and organizations are limited to taking orders for products and services. Publishing companies and those granted exceptions for selling items in their booth are required to collect and remit city and state sales taxes.   

Any exhibitor wishing to apply for an exception to the prohibition upon sales must submit the Booth Activity Request Form through the online Exhibitor Resource Center no later than Wednesday, April 24, and must receive written approval from ASCO. ASCO reserves the right to restrict or terminate sales activities that it deems inappropriate or unprofessional.  

Publishing companies and exhibitors who have been approved to sell on-site are responsible for seeing that they are properly registered as an Illinois Business and have an Illinois Taxpayer Identification Number.
