Lions Clubs 98th International Convention
EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS
LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL
Established in 1917 and headquartered in Oak Brook,
IL, Lions Clubs International (LCI) is the world's largest
service organization with over 1.35 million members in
over 200 countries. Lions Clubs International is
commonly recognized for its service to the blind and
visually impaired, though our members volunteer their
time to answer the many needs that challenge their
communities and the world.
For over 95 years, wherever there is a need — at
home or around the world - Lions are there to help.

Lions Clubs Convention 2015
This is the association’s only event where all global
members are invited to join together for five days of
fellowship at the International Convention, which will be
held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. Honolulu is the state
capital and the most populous city in the U.S. state
of Hawaii. We expect a minimum of 18,000 Lions to
attend this convention. Each year our registrants look
forward to marching in the annual International Parade,
participating in numerous educational seminars, voting
on important association issues while enjoying the sights
of an international city.
All convention events including LCI’s plenary sessions,
meetings, and seminars will conveniently take place at
the Hawaii Convention Center (HCC).
The Exhibitor area is open daily and the traffic flow is
steady throughout the week. Slow periods will occur
during our International Parade on Saturday, June 27
and Opening Plenary Session on Sunday, June 28.
Immediately following these events, exhibitors can
expect crowds to return to the exhibit area.
Our event is not a tradeshow – it is focused exclusively on
LCI. The focal point of our exhibit area is our large
Headquarters section that features each division
of LCI. Here, Lions members can meet and
discuss issues directly with key personnel. Other
popular exhibit area attractions include our
complimentary Social Media Lounge/Internet Café;
the International Food Court; the Environmental Photo
Contest competition highlighting the best entrants from
around the world, the Club Supplies Store, and of course,
the always popular Exhibitors section. These are just a few
of the exhibit area attractions available to our attendees.

Exhibitor Information
At the Hawaii Convention Center, the main level
exhibit halls will be used for our plenary sessions, so
instead of a traditional exhibit hall we will be using the
meeting rooms located in the Ala Halawai “Central
Concourse” on the HCC’s Level 3.
Please refer to Page 8 for a general layout of this
space. Due to the space limitations there will only
be space for 15 exhibitors in 2015. We will accept
completed exhibitor applications on a
first-come, first-serve basis. Only standard size
10’ x 10’ (3m x 3m) booths are available.
Exhibitors who are unable to reserve a booth are welcome to participate in our first “Virtual” Exhibit Hall.
LCI has partnered with ViridiSTOR to deliver our convention content digitally on their Presenter USB.
Exhibitors can now distribute a wide range of content, including high resolution images, movies, electronic
brochures, and product catalogs and more in a cost effective manner. As all exhibitor contact information
(address, phone, website, social media links, etc.) is included on the Presenter™, exhibitors have the opportunity
to be contacted after the convention, even if the attendee never visited their booth or the exhibitor was unable to
attend.
We invite your company or organization to participate as an exhibitor

Terms And Conditions
INSURANCE
The exhibitor shall, at its own expense, obtain
and keep in full force and effect during the
entire duration of the convention, appropriate
insurance coverage as is customary to
maintain for its property, employees, agents,
and exhibit programs, including sufficient
general liability coverage for any bodily injury or
property damage. The exhibitor acknowledges
that LCI and HCC do not maintain insurance
covering the exhibitor’s property, employees,
agents or exhibit programs and that it is the
sole responsibility of the exhibitor to obtain
appropriate insurance, including but not limited to, sufficient general liability, bodily injury, property damage,
business interruption, fire and theft, and workers’ compensation insurance covering any such losses caused
by or related to the exhibitor. The exhibitor assumes all risk of loss or damage of any kind, including but not
limited to, any such loss or damage in excess of insurance coverage limits. LCI requires that an exhibitor
furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing sufficient coverage.
EXHIBITOR INSURANCE REQUIREMENT:
As an exhibitor, or “tenant” of exhibit space in the 98th Annual Lions Clubs International Convention, you are
to submit an original Certificate of General Business Liability Insurance for your company, as evidence of
such coverage being currently in effect. Deadline for Receipt of Certificate: May 30, 2015
Your insurance agent is the only one authorized to produce this certificate. Because the requirements for this

to your agent as soon as possible. Make sure they are aware of the deadline and the special requirements
with regard to the event. The instructions below will give your agent all the information they will need to
produce the certificate for you.
Important Notice: Failure on the part of the exhibitor to have a proper Certificate of Liability Insurance
submitted by the above deadline will result in suspension of the exhibitor’s right to occupy space in the
exhibit hall. Your company will be placed on a “Stop List” and you will not be allowed to move any exhibit
materials into the exhibit hall. Suspension will be removed, and rights will be reinstated upon receipt of the
proper certificate. There will be no exceptions made to this requirement.
