Priority Points Program
The priority points program is a participation and loyalty reward system for APAO Congress corporate partners including exhibitors and sponsors. It is designed to reward for their support and provide a clear and transparent scheduling process of the exhibit booth space order for each exhibitor.
To benefit from the priority points program, each company is required to submit a completed booking form to the APAO Secretariat by the priority point deadline of November 30, 2024. Late submissions will not be accepted.
The priority of booth assignment will be assessed according to the company’s earned priority points and payment date. Companies with the highest number of points are assigned first, progressing down to companies with the fewest points.
The priority points can be accrued through attendance at the previous Congress as well as sponsoring, advertising and supporting the Congress programs.
When two companies with equal points request the same space, priority will be given to the company which has exhibited at three previous congresses in the past five years. If a tie still exists, the exhibit space will be assigned on a first come, first served basis based on the booking and payment dates.
Violations of or failure to adhere to APAO policies, contracts, rules and regulations will result in points being deducted.
The priority point program is subject to cancellation, change or modification by APAO at any time without prior notice.
Priority points are accrued annually and added to the cumulative total in the following ways:
1. Exhibiting
- 1 point for exhibiting in the current year
- 1 point per year for exhibiting at 5 previous consecutive congresses
2. Booth Size
- 1 point for the first booth
