CONFLICTING EVENTS – M&A SOUTH
To be fair to all attendees and protect the investment of all conference sponsors, all sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees agree not to create or promote outside activities or events that conflict with elements of the official posted conference agenda of the M&A SOUTH Conference.  Sponsors, exhibitors, and registered attendees found to violate ACG Atlanta policies and agreements voluntarily forfeit all of the remainder of the sponsor, exhibitor, and event attendee benefits that were to be provided to them.
