PRESIDENT’S WELCOME RECEPTION
RECEPTION & LE CIRQUE DINNER
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
6:00PM – 7:30PM
7:00PM – MIDNIGHT
CANADA FROM
COAST TO COAST
CIRQUE À LA MONTRÉAL
Welcome to Canada
– a beautiful country
filled with richness
from Newfoundland
to Vancouver. Tonight,
you will have the
opportunity to enjoy
Canada from Coast to Coast. From the Atlantic coast,
home to the Maritime Provinces represented by their main
industry, fishing, to the more urban side of the country
with the highlighted cities of Montreal, the capital city of
Ottawa and Toronto to the meadowlands, and finally, the
Pacific coast, with its splendorous landscape of British
Columbia’s Rocky Mountains and the Vancouver Stanley
Park totems. Tonight, the United partners invite you join
your elevator friends and business associates in honoring
the leaders of each sponsoring Association. Let’s toast
our Presidents, network with friends, relax and enjoy the
sound of Jazz as you enjoy this unforgettable evening.
So many people associate
Montreal with the circus arts,
and with good reason! After all,
Montreal is home to the Cirque
du Soleil entertainment empire
– founded in 1984 and reigned
over by local icon, Guy Laliberté.
Its theatrical, character-driven
approach helped define Cirque
du Soleil as the contemporary
circus (“nouveau cirque”) that it
remains today. Tonight, experience the feel of the cirque with
your industry peers by enjoying mini-cirque performances
during dinner before dancing the night away. Join us for this
unforgettable evening and prepare to be wowed!
PLEASE NOTE: you will need to exchange the ticket you
receive at registration for a table assignment. A database will
be maintained so you can see who is sitting at which table and
where the available remaining seats are located.

the origins of the vertical transportation consulting industry,
how it began, and some of the early challenges faced by
some of the original Consultants; the growth of the industry
through the years; the various sectors of the industry and
the consulting role in each, including new installations,

1:30PM - 3:00PM
A technical presentation on Testing Safeties without
using weights: An Electronic method that covers all
that is missed by current practice.
Speaker: Tim Ebeling, Henning GmbH & Co.
This session presents the thesis that current elevator safety
inspections using test weights, currently done around
the world, yield no clear statement. Presentation will
substantiate this, not only physically, but also by presenting
several examples. Mr. Ebeling and his company have
developed an electronic testing method and system that
evaluates the stopping force of installed safeties and does
not require the use of test weight.

meetings that were held after 9/11. I was on the committee

always had attendance by Firefighters. Wind Turbine Tower
Elevators. These are rather unique, and may or may not
present a business opportunity for contractors, consultants
and inspectors. Maintenance requirements. Specifically the
updated requirements for a Maintenance Control Program

General Information
General information
Convention Registration
Registration will be in the individual delegate’s name, not
by company. Only individuals who have paid a registration
fee will have a name badge. Name badges and tickets will
be required for admission to all scheduled meal functions.
Name badges are nontransferable. Names will appear on
badges exactly as you indicate on your registration form.
Please print clearly.
Friday, August 26, 2016 is the deadline for registering for
the convention at the discounted rates. Registration fees
increase after this date.
Complete your registration online at www.unitedconvention.
com or complete and return your form along with the
appropriate fees (US Funds only) to: United Headquarters,
1298 Wellbrook Circle, Conyers, GA 30012. Payment must
accompany registration forms. You may pay by check
or credit card. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and
Discover are accepted. Registration confirmation will be
emailed to you within 30 days prior to the event.
Cancellations and Refunds
Full registration fees and optional activity fees will be
refunded if cancellation notice is received in writing on
or before Friday, August 26, 2016. Seventy–five percent
(75%) of registration fees will be refunded through Friday,
September 9, 2016. No refund will be made for cancellation
after Friday, September 9, 2016. All cancellations
and changes must be submitted in writing to: United
Headquarters, 1298 Wellbrook Circle, Conyers, GA 30012
or wendy@naec.org.
Lodging
We encourage all members to stay at one of the
headquarters hotels. The Association secures room blocks
and enters into contractual agreements with the hotels years
in advance of the meeting guaranteeing a predetermined
percentage of occupancy of the hotel’s guest rooms. To
protect the value of guest rooms set aside for the event,
hotels include a performance clause that provides for
monetary damages if fewer rooms than agreed upon are
occupied. Failure to meet performance thresholds may result
in a significant financial loss to the Associations. All meetings
and functions will be held in either the headquarters hotel, Le
Westin Montreal or the Palais des congrès de Montréal with
the exception of some committee meetings.
Hospitality Suites
Hotel suites which will be used for hospitality and
entertainment must be cleared through NAEC. No exhibits
may be set up in hospitality suites. No activity in hospitality
suites may conflict with any planned convention event.
Suites and meeting space will not be released to non-
exhibiting suppliers for entertainment or meeting purposes.
Requests must be submitted in writing to: Kerrie Rebmann,
NAEC, 1298 Wellbrook Circle, Conyers, GA 30012 or
kerrie@naec.org.
Expo Only Registration
Admission to the Exhibit Hall will be open to anyone 18 years
or older interested in attending. Admission to the Exposition
is included in Delegate and Spouse/Guest registration.
Please contact NAEC for an Exhibit Only Registration Form
at 770-760-9660 or wendy@naec.org. The Exposition will
be open Wednesday, September 21st, 10:30am-5:00pm and
Thursday, September 22nd, 10:30am-3:00pm in the Palais
des congrès de Montréal – Hall 210a,b,e,f and 220a-e.
Suitcasing Policy
What is Suitcasing? Suitcasing is when a non-exhibiting
company solicits business in exhibit hall aisles, another
company’s booth or public spaces within the convention
center. Suitcasing practices include passing out brochures
and business cards in the aisles or conducting meetings
in special areas of the show floor such as the Delegate
Lounge and Food Court.
What is United’s Suitcasing Policy? Any attendee who
is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other
public spaces, in another company’s booth, or in violation
of any portion of the United Exhibition Policy will be asked
to leave immediately. Additional penalties may be applied.
Please report any violations you may observe to show
management.
Please Support Our Exhibitors and Our Show – if you
are approached by non-exhibiting companies soliciting
your business during the trade show, we encourage you
to not engage in a business matter with them at that time.
Please report the incident to show management.
Cirque Ticket Exchange
Dinner Dance vouchers included in your ticket packet
should be exchanged for a ticket with a table assignment.
Vouchers will be exchanged on a first-come, firstserved basis. Ticket exchange will begin at 7:30am on
