As a premier event in the hearth, patio, and barbecue industry, HPBExpo is committed to providing all participants a fair and inclusive environment. We urge our sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees to comply with our Suitcasing & Outboarding policy, which is not only an HPBA policy but also a standard recognized by the International Association of Exhibitions and Events. This policy will be strictly enforced.

This policy ensures that all exhibitors can showcase their products and services, and prevents unauthorized marketing activities that may disrupt the official programming.

If you come across any violations of this policy, please report them to HPBExpo Show Management by emailing expo@hpba.org or online. Let’s work together to make HPBExpo a successful and enjoyable event for everyone involved.

Unethical Badge Sharing:

It is unethical to register or give a badge to anyone other than your company personnel. Violation of this policy will result in penalty fees equal to the total potential revenue loss determined by HPBA Show Management.
