Frequently Asked Questions
What is priority assignment?
The APMA Priority Point system is used to determine space assignment for all booth space requests received by the published deadline. After the deadline passes, space is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. This priority point system develops a score for each exhibitor, based on the company’s support of APMA for the past three years, using the following criteria:
- Consecutive years exhibited with APMA
- Number of booths taken per year
- Advertising placed in APMA publications
- Support for APMA educational programs and other APMA initiatives
Is my booth furnished?
The booth comes equipped with piping, drape, and an identification sign. The booth fee does not include table, chairs, or any other furnishings. All booth floors must be finished (carpet, etc.). Booth supplies can be ordered through the exhibitor services provider, GES.
Can I get attendee data?
All exhibitors may order one complimentary set of data (PDF only). Email addresses and phone numbers are not provided in the attendee data file; they are only included in lead reports (see below for information on ordering lead equipment). Details on ordering the attendee data file will be provided to exhibitors only in June.
Can I send an email to attendees?
APMA does not sell email addresses. Exhibitors and sponsors may send an email to attendees via APMA’s approved distributor. Details will be provided to exhibitors in June.
How can I order badges?
Instructions for providing the names of your booth personnel will be provided in June.
The badge quantity included in your booth fee is based on your booth size:
- 100 sq. ft: up to three badges
- 200–300 sq. ft: up to five badges
- 400 sq. ft: up to eight badges
Additional badges may be purchased by exhibitors only in advance or onsite for $75 ea. Onsite badge orders can be paid by credit card only. All credit cards transactions incur a 3% surcharge.
How can I order lead retrieval equipment?
