Attendee List

As a participating Business Partner at the SACUBO 2026 Leadership Forum, you will receive the attendee list as a part of your partnership package at no additional cost.

For Business Partners with early access to the attendee list, you will receive the list two months prior to the conference with updated lists sent every two weeks. All other Business Partners will receive the list one month prior to the conference with an updated list sent two weeks before the event. A post-event attendee list will be sent within one week after the conference to all Business Partners.

The SACUBO 2026 Leadership Forum Attendee List is the proprietary property of the Southern Association of College and University Business Officers. These lists may only be used to contact attendees up to two times, only for the specific purpose of promoting the sponsor/exhibitor’s participation at the specified show and/or as a follow-up after the show. The Sponsor/Exhibitor agrees not to duplicate, publish, permit the list to be published, merge it into the sponsor's/exhibitor’s company database(s), or use it for any other purpose not expressly provided for in the agreement.

Payment Policy

Payment in full for all booths and/or sponsorships is due no later than December 23, 2025. Booth and sponsorship commitments made after December 23, 2025 must be submitted with 100% payment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Exhibit space reservation and sponsorship commitments are not secured until full payment is remitted. If an exhibitor or sponsor fails to make required payments as described, SACUBO may release any unpaid items without further notice and without obligation to refund monies previously paid.

To qualify for and retain the original reserved rate for exhibit space, full payment for the space must be remitted by the posted deadline. If full payment is not received by the deadline, any rate discounts obtained at the time of original booking will become void, the space will be subject to current posted rates, exhibitor will be responsible for the new adjusted total, and full payment must be remitted before space is officially assigned to exhibitor.

Implementation of Benefits

SACUBO will begin to recognize your company as a sponsor or exhibitor and fulfill agreed-upon benefits once payment in full has been received.

Cancellation Policy

Notice of cancellation of all or a portion of any exhibitor and/or sponsorship commitment must be submitted in writing to SACUBO via email [email protected] and is subject to the payment of cancellation fees as outlined below:

Date Notice of Cancellation is Received by SACUBO Cancellation Fee
60 days or more prior to event $250
30-59 days prior to the event 50% of total exhibit and/or sponsorship commitment
Less than 30 days prior to the event 100% of total exhibit and/or sponsorship commitment


Cancellation fees will be imposed uniformly and will apply whether or not the space is resold.

Unauthorized Events and Use of Meeting Space

Sponsors and exhibitors agree not to extend invitations, call meetings, host hospitality events, or otherwise encourage the absence of attendees from the exhibit hall and meeting rooms during the hours of all conference activities and official evening events. All requests for meeting rooms, hotel suites, and special function rooms must be approved by SACUBO.
