Exhibit Space Selection - Using the Current Floorplan
The floorplan posted currently shows a majority of 10' x 10' booth and island formations.
Inline booths - If you would like to reserve a space larger than a 10' x 10', on the space application, please list the numbers of the booths you'd like combined in order to create your in-line booth.
Island formations - Print the floorplan and indicate the location and size of booth you'd prefer. When you submit your space application, please also submit the floorplan.
Target Move-In Schedule
With the cooperation of Service Contractor, Exhibit Management will be using a Target Move - In Schedule for the meeting. Schedule to be posted in April .
Exhibit Space Assignment Process
All applications received on or before March 5 will be awarded 60 points. These applications will be separated and identified as AAPM Corporate Affiliate Members and Nonmembers. On March 5 all applications will be assigned a random number with applications received by AAPM Corporate Affiliate Members being assigned random numbers first followed by applications received by Nonmembers. Exhibit space assignments will then be made based on the random number assigned.
Applications received after March 5 will be assigned space based on a point system. The point system is based on three tiers of information: historical data, date application is received, and event sponsorship. Corporate Affiliate Contracts received after March 5 will be assigned space along with nonmember organizations based on historical data, date application is received, and event sponsorship.
The historical tier of the point system awards four points for each consecutive year a company has exhibited, going back nine years. A maximum of 36 points can be accumulated this way. Three points are given for each year exhibited non-consecutively.
The date-point tier begins March 5. Two points will be subtracted from this sixty-point maximum for each application received each business day thereafter. No points are given for applications received after 30 days. Bonus points earned by sponsoring AAPM Annual Meeting events will be added to the aforementioned system.
Total points, Corporate Affiliate level and Exhibitor preference regarding proximity to other exhibiting companies will be used to break ties. Every effort will be made to respect the Exhibitors' space choices, whenever possible, but the decision of Exhibit Management will be final.
Exhibit Management Policy: Exhibit Management reserves the right to rearrange the floor plan at any time when such action is deemed to be in the best interest of the total exhibit effort. Exhibit Management reserves the right to relocate exhibitors should it become necessary for causes beyond the control of AAPM, or advisable in the best judgment of AAPM to transfer assignments.
