Registration fee includes business sessions, accommodation and all CWM™ hosted meals, functions, activity tours and pre/post FAM tours. Airfare is not included in the registration fee. Fees are payable upon receipt of invoice, which will be issued upon confirmation of participation.

 

 

 

Buyer Attendance: Buyers are required to attend the entire Marketplace, November 24^th to 27^th, 2008, inclusive. Buyers who fail to attend their appointments will be invoiced for their hotel accommodation and may not be invited to future CWM trade shows.

 

Repeat Buyers: Repeat buyers must be planning a new program or product this year, or have an expansion of their program or product from last year.

Attendance Priority: Priority attendance will be awarded to new buyers/new programs (i.e. operators looking to start a program, and emerging markets). Tour Operators located abroad who wish to send a Canada-based representative will be considered, but overseas buyers will be given priority. Participation is by invitation. The CWM Partners reserve the right to decline or waitlist any buyer application.

Second Delegates: More than one representative per organization may be allowed to attend the 2008 CWM trade show provided the second representative is a qualified buyer and an explanation is provided for review and approval by the CWM Partners. Where two delegates are accepted, each buyer delegate from that organization will be required to take their own set of appointments.

 

RTOs: Canadian or US-based Receptive Tour Operators may register as a seller, a buyer or both. However, the same delegate cannot attend as both buyer and seller. If you are registering as both a buyer and a seller, two different delegates must attend; one as a seller and one as a buyer. If a receptive chooses to attend as a buyer, they must attend the entire Marketplace.   If a receptive registers as a seller, they may only participate in the appointment session they are registered for. Space for Canadian or US-based receptive operators is limited and will be accommodated on a first come, first serve basis. 

Incentive Tour Operators: The CWM trade show is an event servicing leisure markets. Therefore, MICE organizations are not eligible, unless they have a dedicated leisure department. All applications are subject to the approval of the CWM Partners.

Delegate Substitutions: Delegate substitutions must be submitted in writing and approved by the CWM Partners.

Floor Activity: Buyers are not permitted to sell programs or other products to sellers during Marketplace appointments. Buyers who do not adhere to this policy may not be invited to future CWM trade shows.

 

The CWM trade show, its contractors, the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre and the CWM Host Hotels will not be held responsible for items lost or stolen at any time during the trade show. Delegates are responsible for their own personal belongings.

 

Payment: All Buyer delegates must pay their registration fee of $250.00 plus applicable taxes upon receipt of invoice.

 

Cancellation Policy: The cancellation deadline is October 3^rd, 2008. No refunds will be given for cancellations received after this date.
