VISA REQUIREMENTS/INVITATION LETTER

Your registration details may be shared by ASIS with the immigration authorities to assist in the process. However, ASIS will not contact embassies and consulates on your behalf.

HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

BADGES
A government issued photo ID is required to pick up GSX badges. Photocopies and electronic copies are not considered an acceptable form of ID. GSX-issued credentials are the sole property of ASIS and must be surrendered upon demand to ASIS and/or its representatives or agents.
While onsite at GSX or designated off-site activities, GSX-issued credentials must be prominently displayed. Badge swapping and/or sharing is strictly prohibited. Any attendee or exhibitor found using another attendee’s or exhibitor’s badge or loaning out their badge to another individual will have the badge confiscated and will be removed from the premises, with the other individual. If such action is necessary, there will be no refund of fees paid to attendee or exhibitor, nor will ASIS International be liable for any damages including but not limited to any direct, incidental or consequential damages arising from or related to the attendee’s or exhibitor’s action or removal from GSX 2026.
False certification of an individual as an exhibitor’s representative, misuse of an exhibitor’s badge, or any other method or device used to assist unauthorized personnel to gain admittance to the Exhibit Hall will be just cause for expelling the exhibitor and the representative(s) from GSX and/or banning them from future entrance into GSX. This would also warrant the removal of the exhibitor’s booth from GSX without obligation on the part of ASIS to refund any fees. The exhibitor, their employees and agents, and anyone claiming to be in the Exhibit Hall through the exhibitor, waives any rights or claims for damages arising out of the enforcement of this rule.
For all Digital badge holders, login credential swapping and/or sharing is strictly prohibited. Any attendee suspected of or found using another attendee’s login credentials or loaning out their credentials to another individual will have their credentials revoked without a refund.
SUITCASING
Exhibiting, promotion or solicitation of products and services is allowed from designated exhibit booths only. Solicitation, distribution, advertising, displaying or promotion of any products or other materials or media outside of an exhibitors’ designated booth (suitcasing) is strictly prohibited. ASIS International retains, at its sole discretion, the right to cancel the attendee’s registration and to remove or require the removal of any Attendee whose networking or sales conduct is determined to be suitcasing. If such action is necessary, there will be no refund of fees paid to Attendee, nor will ASIS International be liable for any damages including but not limited to any direct, incidental or consequential damages arising from or related to the Attendee’s action or removal from GSX 2026.
BADGE SCANNING
You may be asked to scan your badge when attending sponsored sessions or when visiting exhibitors and/or sponsor booths for the purposes of conducting business and marketing communications regarding their own products or services.
If you agree to have your badge scanned, you are consenting to allow ASIS and its representatives and agents to share your contact data with such exhibitors or sponsors. You will be subject to such third party’s communications and privacy practices. If you wish to opt-out or exercise any applicable privacy rights you may have regarding these third-party communications, please exercise those rights directly with those third parties. Note that scanning your badge is optional, and you may refuse.
IN CONJUNCTION WITH (ICW) POLICY
Any individuals, companies, affiliated organizations, ASIS Communities and Chapters, exhibitors, advertisers, and/or sponsors wishing to meet and host functions during ASIS-approved dates and times in conjunction with GSX 2026 must submit an official request and receive ASIS approval prior to promotion and implementation of the event.
PHOTOGRAPHY, AUDIO, AND VIDEO RECORDING
Due to the sensitive nature of products and displays at the show, professional photography and/or video recording of any booth by any attendee/exhibitor personnel is prohibited. Exceptions are made only when permission is obtained from the exhibitor whose booth/product is being photographed/videotaped and all individuals appearing in the photograph or video.
Attendees may film or photograph on the show floor for personal use only. Filming in education sessions is prohibited, but attendees are permitted to photograph for personal use. Attendees may not film or photograph at any education sessions or exhibitor booths that are marked as no filming/photography.
Registration and attendance at or participation in ASIS International meetings and other activities, including digital events, constitutes an agreement by the registrant to ASIS’ use and distribution (both now and in the future) of the registrant’s or attendee’s image or voice in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproductions, or audiotapes of such.
Attendees acknowledge that they are in a public space where filming and photography are taking place. They may appear in the background of footage or photography as a result of attending this event.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By registering for GSX 2026, you agree that you have read and will follow the ASIS International Code of Conduct. All attendees, presenters, exhibitors, sponsors, vendors, contractors, other service providers, and ASIS staff at GSX 2026 are required to adhere to the ASIS Code of Conduct. If you are the subject of unacceptable behavior as defined in the ASIS Code of Conduct or have witnessed any such unacceptable behavior and you have been unable to resolve the situation in another way, you may notify ASIS staff.
FORCE MAJEURE
ASIS shall not be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent such delay or failure is caused by fire, flood, strike, civil, governmental, or military authority, acts of God, acts of terrorism, acts of war, pandemic, contagions, health crises, travel restrictions, epidemics, the availability of the Venue (if applicable), or other similar causes beyond its reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of ASIS or its subcontractors such as power grid failures, internet outages, cyber warfare, cyber-attacks, ransomware attacks, cyber sabotage, civil war, sabotage or piracy. ASIS does not accept any liability on account of unavailability, interruptions, errors, viruses, or harmful components. For one or more such reasons, ASIS may postpone, reschedule, or cancel GSX without liability on the part of ASIS. In the event GSX cannot be held or is postponed pursuant to this section, ASIS shall not be liable to attendees for any damages, costs, or losses incurred, such as transportation costs, accommodations costs, or financial losses. ASIS will review refund and/or fee transfer requests, submitted in writing, for approval on a situational basis.
