Please note, all exhibitors submitting education proposals related to their company product line will be classified as a Product Workshop.

*Any sponsorship opportunities for business seminars will be handled on a case-by-case basis.


Exhibitor Responsibilities 
All communication and payment must be coordinated through one coordinator, even if there are co-sponsors. Please designate one person who will be the primary contact person on behalf of the Workshop/Business Seminar Sponsor.
We recommend a minimum of two instructors per product workshop. A representative from each sponsoring company is encouraged to be present during the class. As the workshop coordinator, please ensure that all instructors, co-sponsors, and additional workshop staff receive and understand all instructions. For business seminars, there must be one representative/speaker per class.


Services and Amenities
Each classroom will only include the AV needs submitted on the application form. Sponsors who require additional electrical outlets MUST specify at the time of their application the wattage for the tool and indicate if giving one tool per person or one per table. Please note, electrical hook-up requests for every 2-person table, or added after confirmations are sent, may incur a fee and/or may alter the scheduled workshop time and/or room.


Product Shipping, Storage, and Delivery to Classroom
Coordinators will receive an email when the Workshop Shipping Kit is available for download. This Shipping Kit will include instructions for labeling and shipping materials for your Workshop to The Westin Seattle. Please adhere to these instructions to ensure a smooth workshop experience. Do not include your workshop materials with your exhibitor freight as it may not arrive in time for your workshop.
NAMTA will provide, free of charge, all Workshop drayage if the exhibiting sponsor(s) use the provided labels within the Shipping Kit. Sponsors who do not use these labels will be responsible for all costs associated with moving products from their booths to the classroom and will be billed separately for any labor used.

The Sponsor/Presenter agrees to indemnify and hold NAMTA and its directors, officers, employees, agents and members, harmless with respect to any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, or settlements, including reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and other expenses incurred by NAMTA arising or related to: (i) the violation or breach of any term or condition of the agreement between the parties or any of these 2025 Education Rules & Regulations by the Sponsor/Presenter, its employees and agents; (ii) any activities, including copyright infringement, defamation, or slanderous content, conducted by the Sponsor/Presenter during the 2025 Education presentations; or (iii) negligent acts or gross misconduct of the Sponsor/Presenter while in attendance at the Education Presentations. The rights and responsibilities established in this paragraph shall survive indefinitely the termination of the Agreement.

In addition, Sponsors will be liable for any damage caused to the convention center’s building, floors, walls and columns, or to the property of any other company.

Contact Information
We encourage workshop sponsors to collect contact information in the event that the instructors/workshop sponsors wish to send class participants materials after the workshop. Upon request, NAMTA can provide contact name, company name, city, state, email address, and buyer type. However, we do not support the use of attendee lists to be used for purposes not directly associated to the workshop.
