Admission Policy

All persons planning to attend Natural Products Expo East must be registered. Natural Products Expo East is a private trade show open to the trade only, and not open to the public. Individuals who cannot document their direct, professional affiliation to the trade are not qualified to attend the trade show.

Proof of Business must be presented in order for you to be registered for the event. You must present business credentials to qualify your store/company. See below for accepted forms of business proof for each registration type. We reserve the right to request additional buyer credentials if we deem it necessary, as well as ask for updated credentials even if you have attended in the past.

Previous attendance does not necessarily qualify you for this or any other New Hope Natural Media Event.

Business Type Definitions/Pricing

There is no registration fee for qualifying retail buyer, distributor, broker and importer/exporter attendees who register on or before the pre-registration deadline. After that date, registration fees apply for all registrants.

Please note that all qualifications are based on the company's qualification, NOT the attendee's job title, or description, i.e., a buyer for a manufacturing company will still qualify as a manufacturer.

Photo/Video Policies

To preserve and protect the business nature of Natural Products Expo East, New Hope Natural Media strictly enforces the following photo/video policies. Any attendee of Natural Products Expos—including exhibitors and/or qualified press—who wishes to photograph or film at the show is required to check in at the Press Room onsite to sign a waiver and receive authorization upon each day of filming.

Live TV and nationally syndicated film crews must check in at the Press Room to receive an authorization sticker and must be escorted by a member of the press room staff in order to photograph and/or videotape at the show. Space is limited for escorts. Please schedule a time with the Press Room in advance to arrange for an escort on the show floor: email tradeshows@newhope.com.

Photographers and videographers are required to obtain permission before filming any exhibitor's booth and must refrain from filming those who do not grant permission. Qualified press who have obtained press passes and are photographing and/or filming at the show may not, under any circumstances, solicit payment from exhibitors for service. Those who are found to be soliciting payment will have their press passes immediately revoked, and may be banned from future events.

Filming, videotaping and photography are prohibited at all event, education and seminar sessions, including keynote presentations. Exhibitors and their private consultants may film, photograph and/or videotape their own exhibitor-presented seminar(s) only.

Attendee indemnifies and holds harmless New Hope Natural Media and Penton Media, Inc., their respective parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, with respect to any claims from any third party claims whatsoever arising from Attendee's media activities under this waiver.

These policies are in addition to the official show policies. For the official show policies go to: www.expoeast.com/policies.
