To protect our exhibiting companies, the Society of Actuaries (SOA) prohibits suitcasing and will do what it can to report and remove any person(s) seen soliciting business in public spaces, including other companies’ booths or private space, such as a hotel suite. If you are suspicious of suitcasing activities, please report them to soameetings@soa.org.

We also have recycling stations with signage promoting what items can be placed where.
