CHBA-Central Alberta Zero-Tolerance Policy for Pre-Show and On-site Soliciting
The Canadian Home Builders' Association-Central Alberta (CHBA-Central Alberta) would like to remind all members of the media registered for the 2007 Red Deer Home Show of its zero-tolerance policy for pre-show and on-site soliciting by attendees with complimentary working media credentials.
Complimentary media badges are issued only to reported, editors, freelance writers, production crews and photographers working on stories or programs for media outlets relevant to the housing industry. All media require appropriate credentials and are subject to prior approval by CHBA-Central Alberta.
Working media with complimentary credentials may not solicit business from exhibitors, spokespeople or attendees during the 2007 Red Deer Home Show. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, marketing and sales of satellite tours for or by on-air talent, producers and/or production staff, and marketing and sales of ad space for any publication of any kind by reporters, editors and/or photographers. Anyone found engaging in such behavior will be subject to having their working media credentials for the 2006 Red Deer Home Show revoked immediately by CHBA-Central Alberta. CHBA-Central Alberta reserves unto itself the absolute discretion to enforce its rules and policies as it may deem appropriate. Enforcement of CHBA-Central Alberta's rules and policies may result in the ejection from the premises of any persons lacking the appropriate credentials and/or registration.
Paid media registration is available for marketing, public relations, advertising, sales, publishers, and other non-editorial employees who plan to engage in any sales or marketing activities.
Please contact CHBA-Central Alberta at (403) 346-5321 if your Show plans include any of these activities and you need to re-register or if you have any questions.

Complimentary media badges are issued only to reportes, editors, freelance writers, production crews and photographers working on stories or programs for media outlets relevant to the housing industry.
Freelance writers and photographers must submit a letter from the news organization they are representing on that company's letterhead and signed by the editor within 10 working days of registration. Letter may be faxed to (403) 342-1301, or mailed to CHBA-Central Alberta, 10, 7895-49 Avenue, Red Deer, AB T4P 2B4. Please mark your information Media Credentials (Freelance)". If you have any questions, contact Scott Boyd at (403) 346-5321.
It is the policy of CHBA-Central Alberta to require all persons requesting complimentary media credentials to disclose, in advance, whether they will be conducting any business other than reporting before or while at the Show during operating hours. This includes but is not limited to:
- Requesting/receiving any form of compensation in exchange for the promotion of products, goods or services at the 2007 Red Deer Home Show.
- Discussing opportunities for exhibitors to advertise in the representing publication.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, marketing and sales of satellite tours for or by on-air talent, producers and/or production staff, and marketing and sales of ad space for any publication of any kind by reporters, editors and/or photographers.
If you will be engaged in such activities, or believe such actions may occur, and still wish to be considered for complimentary media credentials, you must include in your submission for complimentary media credentials the following:
- Description of your publication.
- All roles you perform at this publication (including all formal titles), and
- Why you are requesting complimentary media credentials.
Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Anyone found conducting such practices without prior, written consent from CHBA-Central Alberta may have their credentials revoked and be removed from the premises for the duration of the Show.
Individuals solely engagged in sales, marketing or any type of "pay-for-play" activities must register as Paid Media.
How will I know if my complimentary media registration is approved?
You will receive notification if your complimentary media registration is not approved, or if CHBA-Central Alberta requires additional information in order to confirm your complimentary registration. Please contact CHBA-Central Alberta at (403) 346-5321 if you have questions about your registration status.
Who may receive Paid Media credentials?
Paid Media registration is available for marketing, public relations, advertising, sales, publishers, and other non-editorial employees who plan to engage in any sales or marketing activities.
Where can I pick up media credentials?
Working Media credentials can be picked up starting Wednesday, March 7, 2007, at 8:00 AM in the Home Show Media Centre in the Prairie Pavilion of Westerner Park. Please plan to provide a business card and show photo ID.
Non-editorial press who registered before December 21, 2006, will receive their badge in early January 2006. If you loose your badge prior to the Show, you will be charged a replacement fee. You will need to present a valid photo ID to receive a new badge.
May I bring my spouse?
Yes. There is no fee for spouse registration if the name of the media outlet you are representing also will be used for your spouse's badge. However, if a different company name or address is preferred, your spouse will need to register separately and pay the apprpirate registration fees.
What if I am qualified to register both as an exhibitor and as a member of the media?
Please be aware that you may only hold one registration badge at any given time. If you are registered as an exhibitor and qualify for a complimentary media registration, you may exchange the badge in the working medi room during the Show; however, your exhibitor badge must be turned in at that time and will not be returned.
Whom should I contact with questions regarding accommodations?
The 2007 Home Show has partnered with one of Red Deer's premier hotels, the Sandman. Conveniently located on Gaetz Avenue just minutes from Westerner Park, this is the ideal location for any visiting or out of town guest.
Your discounted rate is just $ 95.00 CDN single or double occupancy.
