Onsite Contacts & Show Policies

Essential Policies for ACE Attendees:


Sample Bag Policy:
Exhibitors are prohibited from providing open containers or bags to attendees for the collection samples. Only the official ACE-sponsored sample bag may be used for this purpose. Exhibitors who violate this policy will be subject to a $500 fine.

Operators, guests, and minors are permitted to collect only ONE full bag of samples per day using the official ACE-sponsored bag. Any operator found in violation of the one-bag-per-day policy or is using unauthorized containers, boxes, carts, or bags, will be required to surrender any additional items. Operators who repeatedly disregard these guidelines may be asked to leave the show floor for the remainder of the day.

Sample Control Policy:
Each exhibitor is responsible for managing the distribution of samples within their exhibit space. To ensure a positive experience for all parties involved, exhibitors have the flexibility to choose how they distribute their products. You may opt to provide samples freely to all attendees or limit distribution to qualified prospects and customers of your choosing.

If you prefer a more controlled sampling approach, it is your responsibility to arrange your exhibit space accordingly to facilitate this. This may include measures such as setting up barriers, utilizing booth staff to monitor distribution, or implementing a system to manage the flow of sample requests.

This approach will help maintain a balanced environment for sampling while allowing exhibitors to effectively manage their resources and relationships with attendees.

Exhibitor Booth Policy:
ACE requires that all exhibitor booths remain fully intact until the official conclusion of the show at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Dismantling or packing up your booth before this designated time is strictly prohibited.

This policy is in place to maintain a consistent and engaging environment for everyone involved in the event. Exhibitors who do not adhere to this guideline will incur a penalty fee of $1,000.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in helping us create a successful and enjoyable event for all participants. Thank you for your commitment to maintaining the integrity of the exhibition!

Code of Conduct for All Attendees:
To ensure a positive atmosphere for everyone, we have a zero-tolerance policy for abusive language or behavior. The ACE Planning Committee and staff are authorized to remove any attendees who engage in such conduct, and those individuals may also be banned from future events. We encourage you to contribute to a respectful and enjoyable environment for all participants.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Let’s make this event safe, fun, and memorable for everyone involved!

Keynote Speaker

Unforgettable Memories: Brice Harney Dazzled at ACE 2025

Mentalist Brice Harney Presented "Extraordinary by Design" at Viva Las ACES

Accomplished Dallas-based performer reveals how mentalism concepts can transform professional interactions.


We hope you didn’t miss the fun, the awards, and the mesmerizing show by Brice Harney. His presentation was nothing short of magical and breathtaking, filled with surprises that left everyone in awe.

In his fascinating talk, Brice translated the compelling concepts of influence and perception from the world of mentalism into powerful tools for professional growth. Attendees discovered how to apply these principles to forge stronger connections and create "amazing moments"—those pivotal interactions that can change the trajectory of a relationship, career, or project.

Brice’s high-energy delivery combined gripping storytelling with world-class mentalism and incredible sleight of hand, drawing everyone into an interactive experience as he demonstrated the same impossible feats that have astonished his distinguished clients.

We hope you enjoyed this unique opportunity and walked away inspired by Brice Harney’s transformative presentation at ACE’s Saturday morning Awards Breakfast.
