Before accessing the Global Products Expo (GPE) website, please carefully read this Agreement. Your use of the website signifies your acceptance of its terms. By accessing any page on the GPE website, except this Agreement, visitors acknowledge that they have read and agree to comply with the terms outlined in this Agreement.

It’s also possible to register for GPE events through third-party platforms (like Facebook), where agreement to this Agreement is implied during registration.
By becoming an Attendee, you confirm that you are at least twenty-one (21) years old. If you are acting on behalf of an entity or another individual, you must have proper authorization to do so.

We will indicate modifications by updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Agreement. Your continued use of the GPE website after changes have been posted implies your acceptance of the modified Agreement.

Attendee Registration: Attendees can register for Global Products Expo events through our website, on-site at the event venue on the event day, or via select third-party platforms like Facebook.

Our events feature a wide array of engaging activities such as industry-related panel discussions, workshops, networking events, and seminars. Attendees, unless holding premium credentials, generally participate on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited availability.
COMMUNICATION CONSENT:
By providing your personally identifiable information (PII) and granting consent on our registration page to receive communications via automated technology, you authorize us and third parties, who may have received your PII from us or collected it at an event, to contact you for advertising, marketing, reminders, and other commercial purposes. This may include telephone calls, text messages, email blasts, and postal mail.

BADGES AND NETWORKING SESSIONS:
Attendees can purchase various badge options, providing additional benefits, features, or event access, including participation in networking sessions and reserved seating for workshops and main-stage presentations.
NETWORKING SESSION:
At some events, qualifying badge holders may participate in a networking session. Alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, and sometimes liquor) are served to legal drinking-age attendees holding qualifying badges. Drinks are generally provided on a first-come-first-served basis, and the venue provider has the discretion to refuse service. Please drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
