Corporate Support - Application for Exhibit Space
Confirmation of receipt of the exhibitor application will be provided within approximately five (5) business days. Notification of whether or not your application is accepted will be e-mailed by February 28, 2011.
After January 31, 2012, if booth space is available, submitted applications will require review and approval prior to assignment of booth space. APSS management will monitor the status of the Exhibit Hall through May 30, 2012, to determine whether or not exhibit booth space is available.
Applications will not be accepted after May 30, 2012.
Payment Information
Payment for your first choice booth location must be received in full at the time of application. Any refunds due based on actual booth assignment will be processed and returned following the final acceptance of the exhibit application and booth space notification letter. Please remit payment by credit card (Visa/Mastercard/American Express) or by check made payable to the APSS drawn on a US bank in US funds.
BOOTH ASSIGNMENT
The APSS utilizes a system for calculating points to determine booth assignments. In recognition of the various forms of support received from the industry,
points will be calculated based on the amount contributed during the 2011 calendar-year. Support includes exhibition, sponsorships, advertisements, educational grants, contributions or donations to the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, LLC, American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Sleep Research Society, American Sleep Medicine Foundation or Sleep Research Society Foundation. Commercial entities earn one point for every $1,000 contributed.
The APSS will make every effort to accommodate your preferred location. Exhibitors with the most points will have priority. To benefit from your points, please send your application for exhibit space with payment by January 31, 2012.
The date of receipt of an application will be used in determining booth assignments: 1) in order to break a tie in points or 2) to determine priority of space for applications received after the deadline. Applications received after January 31, 2012, will not be assigned booth space based on points.
Notice of whether or not your application to exhibit is accepted and your space assignment will be e-mailed by February 29, 2012.
The APSS reserves the right to rearrange the floor plan in order to accommodate all requests for booth space. The APSS may also adapt the floor plan to comply with Convention Center regulations. Exhibitors will be notified via e-mail if their booth numbers change due to any of the above circumstances.
Exhibit booths will be assigned based on the receipt of applications and following the above point system, until full capacity is reached. A waiting list will be maintained for vendors who apply after the exhibit hall is filled to capacity.
