Exhibit Regulations & Design Rules The AAPM 2022 64th Annual Meeting Exhibit Regulations and Design Rules are a binding and integral part of the exhibitor’s contract with the AAPM. We encourage you to read them in their entirety to ensure booth personnel and contractors working on the behalf of the Exhibitor will adhere to the regulations and rules and conduct themselves in a professional manner. Purpose of the Exhibit The use of the exhibit hall during the AAPM Meeting is to provide a venue for showcasing solutions (devices, software, etc.) presented by the exhibitor, educational opportunities, and professional networking. Who Can Exhibit Qualified exhibitors are limited to firms, organizations, and agencies whose exhibits promote and further the scientific, professional, technical, and educational advancement of the theory and practice of medical physics and the related arts and sciences. The AAPM Technical Exhibit Subcommittee (TES) has been granted authority to oversee the use of the exhibit space in the exhibit hall; therefore, TES has the sole right to determine the final eligibility and qualification of any firm, organization, agency that wants to rent exhibit space in the exhibit hall. Exhibitors may not assign, sublet or apportion to others the whole or any part of the space that they are allocated. Only the exhibitor as identified on the AAPM Exhibit Space Application and Contract that has been approved by TES may exhibit at the Event in the Exhibit Hall. Only those products and/or services that are manufactured or distributed by Exhibitor may be displayed in the Exhibit Hall. No person, firm, or organization without a contract with the AAPM for the occupancy of space in the exhibit hall will be permitted to display or demonstrate products, processes or services, solicit orders or distribute advertising materials in the exposition facility or elsewhere in the host hotel. Noncompliance with this regulation will result in the prompt removal of the offending person and property. New Exhibitors must provide: • •
Evidence of business license or LLC or certificate of incorporation Photos and clear descriptions of the product or service
Who Attends The AAPM Meeting draws approximately 4,000 participants to the world's largest program of scientific, educational, and professional presentations plus technical exhibits and social programs that specifically targets the medical physics community. In 2022 meeting will be held in Washington, DC. Agreement to the Rules and Regulations The AAPP Technical Exhibit Space Application/Contract Form must be signed by an official of the exhibiting company indicating that the exhibitor rules and regulations as well as the AAPM Code of Conduct at Meetings and Social Events (PP 31-C) have been read and agreed to before any space assignment will be made. Exhibitors will receive a copy of the signed contract and a confirmation letter. Enforcement of the AAPM Exhibitor Rules and Regulations Technical Exhibit rules and regulations serve to: 1. Protect the integrity of the exhibition. 2. Ensure compliance with laws, codes, ordinances, and contracts with the exhibition facility. 3. Ensure all exhibitors are treated fairly. During the booth construction and through the meeting, representatives of TES will be inspecting the booth space for compliance with the rules and regulations.

Americans with Disabilities Act Exhibitors are reminded that structures within the AAPM exhibition are subject to public accommodation provisions under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991 (ADA). Exhibits that utilize second-level space shall provide appropriate accommodations in accordance with the ADA. Elevated floor structures placed within the setback area of island exhibits must be ramped on all sides of the exhibit. Elevated floor structures within any island exhibit that are not ramped must be marked or lighted appropriately around their perimeter. B. Inline Exhibits (10' x 10' or multiples thereof); see images below: The minimum exhibit space is 10' x 10' (3m x 3m). The back 5' (1.52m) of the basic exhibit may be occupied up to a height of 8' (2.44m). The front 5’ (1.52m) of the rented space may be occupied from the floor up to a height of 4' (1.22m). Equipment may exceed the 4' (1.22m) height limit but may not be higher than 8' (2.44m) and must be placed so as not to block the view or impede the sight lines of adjacent exhibits. Live or video demonstrations must be confined to the back 5' (1.52m) of the rented space. The exhibit space must maintain a 1' (0.305m) setback of all exhibit structures 8' (2.44m) in height.
C. Corner Exhibits (10' x 10'); see images below: Defined as an inline booth which is open at one end with intersecting aisles on two sides. All other guidelines for inline booths apply.
7
D. Peninsula Exhibits (10' x 20' or larger “end cap”); see images below: Defined as an exhibit which occupies both corners at the end of a row of standard inline booths with an aisle on three sides. Due to this verify unique configuration, it is the responsibility of the exhibiting company to ensure that your processing and procurement department, or anyone else involved in the design and construction of your exhibit, has a copy of the following rules and regulations. If any of the design rules are violated during the construction phase, TES has the authority to take action against the exhibiting company. The action taken will be determined on the basis of the particular circumstance of each case. However, in cases involving major violations, the action is subject to relocation, or immediate closing of an exhibit without refund to the exhibitor. All matters in question not specifically covered by these rules and regulations are subject to the decision of the AAPM/COMP meeting leadership through the staff or Board of Directors: All display fixtures over 4’ (1.22m) in height and placed within 10’ (3.05m) of a neighboring exhibit, must be confined to that area of the booth that is at least 5’ (1.52m) from the aisle line to avoid blocking the sight line from the aisle to the adjoining booth. Complete accurate scaled drawings of all peninsula booths must be submitted to TES for review and approval. This process is to ensure that the exhibiting company’s booth satisfies the basic criteria for technical exhibits.
E. Island Exhibits (20' x 20' or larger “island”); see images below: When assigning exhibit space, TES considers island design elements and their effects on surrounding exhibits. Regulations governing such exhibits include: Island booths must be constructed to allow access on all four sides. Solid walls cannot span more than 25% of the booth and must have a 25% see-through effect from front to back and side to side, so that the surrounding area can be viewed around and through the booth and neighboring booths are not inappropriately obstructed. Example: 30’ x 30’ booth (each side represents 30’). The wall of that booth could then represent the other 75% of the total width of the booth on each side. The width of the wall could be no more than 22.5’ which equates to 75% of the total width leaving the other 25% free and clear of any structures. For an exhibit with limited access, the exhibit booth space assignment will be at the discretion of TES. Complete accurate scaled drawings, both concept and for construction, indicating applicable setback, exhibit height, hanging signs, live demonstration areas, food and beverage services, and supplemental/black out lighting requests must be submitted to TES for basic approval with the Island Booth Approval Form by April 25. If floor plans are not submitted and approved, and construction is determined to be in violation of regulations, TES has the right to prohibit construction of the booth. Island booths are subject to onsite review and required modification where necessary at the exhibitor’s expense.

Disputes Between Vendors TES will not attempt to settle disputes between exhibitors over issues such as trademark violations or brand copyright violation claims. Show management understands the sensitivity of these issues; however, TES is not a judge, jury, regulator or police officer, and its enforcement or protection options are limited. 9. Sound Sound must be at a level that does not disturb neighboring exhibits (85 decibels when measured by TES from any adjacent aisle) and presentations must be done in a manner that does not encourage congregation of attendees in aisles. Exhibitors using audio systems should direct the sound into their booth and not towards the aisle or neighboring exhibits. Exhibitors should be aware that music played in their booths, whether live or recorded, may be subject to laws governing the use of copyrighted compositions. ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are three authorized licensing organizations that collect copyright fees on behalf of composers and publishers of music. The exhibitor will be required to stop using a system if, in TES’s opinion, the sound level or presentation is objectionable to attendees or adjacent exhibitors. 10. Selling of Products/Services in the Exhibit Hall Products may not be sold for delivery on the exhibit floor with the exception of publishing companies that have been approved by Exhibit Management. All other Exhibitors will be permitted to take orders for the sale of their products or services at the show provided their products or services are substantially related to the science of medical physics. Exhibitors will not actively solicit visitors for sales or orders, but only furnish visitors with a price list for their products or services and indicate on the list that visitors may purchase Exhibitor's products or services.

Exhibitor Registration and Attendance Exhibition hall attendance is limited to qualified exhibitors, professional registrants, and spouses/family members. Exhibitor badges are produced using only the company name submitted on the Exhibit Space Application/Contract. The official AAPM badge is non-transferrable and must be worn at all times while in the exhibit hall. Badges should not be defaced by inserting company business cards or applying novelty items; defaced badges will be confiscated and the wearer escorted off the exhibit floor. Each exhibiting company is allotted two (2) full complimentary badges and one (1) Technical Hall Exhibitor badge for each 100 sq. ft. (9.29 sqm) of exhibit space purchased. In addition, each exhibiting company will receive one food voucher for Monday and one food voucher for Tuesday for each 100 sq. ft. (9.29 sqm). A fee will be assessed for each badge produced over this complimentary allotment. No refunds will be issued for badges purchased but not used. An exhibitor badge allows access to the technical exhibit halls. Attendees wearing visitor badges are permitted in educational sessions if space permits after all badged AAPM member registrants have entered. CME/CE credit is not tracked or awarded to those with exhibit hall only badges. Exhibitor personnel that wish to obtain CME/CE credit must register as a full conference professional exhibitor and pay the applicable registration fee. Exhibitor personnel may not enter another exhibitor’s booth space or meeting space without obtaining the exhibitor’s permission; all exhibitors should be considerate of other participating companies. Exhibitor personnel are strictly prohibited from entering an unstaffed booth or meeting space of another exhibitor at any time. Exhibiting companies are responsible for monitoring their own space. Exhibitors are strictly prohibited from soliciting/conducting business outside their booth or meeting space. It is a violation to admit a person eligible for professional registration as exhibitor personnel. False certification of individuals as exhibitor representatives, misuse of exhibitor badges, or any other method of assisting unauthorized persons to gain access to the exhibit floor will be cause for loss of priority points, a change of exhibiting status and/or payment of the registration fee for each violation.

Space Application To complete the Exhibit Space Application: • Review the AAPM floorplan and determine your top three (3) booth selection requests. The entrances are indicated on the floor plan so please note when selecting your requested booth spaces. • List any exhibitors you wish to be near and any competitors you do not want to be near. • Indicate your priority regarding the assignment of your booth space (i.e. floor location, competitor proximity, associate proximity, corner space). • Indicate the product focus and product line that best applies to your organization. To be considered for first round placement, the application must be turned in by February 16th.
Selecting Booth Space • The draft floorplan posted in the Prospectus will be maxed out with 10’ x 10’ in-line booth spaces only. No ISLAND formations will be indicated on the floorplan. • If you would like to reserve a space larger than a 10' x 10', please list the booth numbers you'd like combined to create your desired booth formation on the Space Application. To assist HQ with understanding your intentions, it is suggested you also print the floorplan, use a marker to outline/indicate your top 3 choices, and submit the floorplan with your space application
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. Assignment Process For first consideration in space assignment: Applications Due – February 16, 2022 Full Payment Due – March 3, 2022 All applications received on or before February 16, 2022 will be awarded 60 points. On February 16th applications will be separated and identified as AAPM Corporate Affiliate Members and Nonmembers. On February 16th 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. Space assignment will begin on February 16th. Applications received after February 16th 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 February 19th 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 February 17th. 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 can also be earned by sponsoring AAPM Annual Meeting events. 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.
Payment If booth payment is not received prior to the AAPM Meeting, the installation of carpet and/or other materials purchased will not be installed until payment is made. • •
Upon receipt of space applications, Exhibitors will be sent an invoice via email for the amount of booth space requested. Payments can be made in full or in installments, providing full payment is received by March 3, 2022. Space assignments are subject to availability of space, preferences, special needs, and compatibility of Exhibitors. Booth assignment will not be made until the FULL PAYMENT is received regardless of when the Application for Exhibit Space is received.
Refund for Cancellations Please send your cancellation request to rachel@aapm.org. All sums paid by the Exhibitor, less a service charge of 10% of the contract price, will be refunded. No refund for a cancellation will be made after April 25, 2022. Space Reductions Please send your request for space reduction to rachel@aapm.org. If space originally contracted for is reduced, a 10% service charge of the original contract price will be due to AAPM. Exhibit Management has the right to reassign a different booth space to Exhibitor. No refund for space reduction will be made after April 25, 2022.

*Email addresses will be provided for Registrants who have consented to the release. Q. How do you ship your lists? A. via Email Q. In what formats do you offer the AAPM mailing list? A. The AAPM mailing list is in electronic format only, Microsoft Excel. Q. How soon will I get my list? A. Under ordinary circumstances most orders are filled within 5 business days. If an order is received on Monday, we try to send it out by Friday. Q. What if I need it sooner? A. We do offer rush jobs. There is a $50 fee associated with such a request. A 'rush job' is one that is requested to be received by a specific date that is less than five days after the date the order is received. Please inform us by telephone or email that you will be requesting a rush job so that we can be on the lookout for your order and handle it as soon as possible. Note: We often process jobs within a day or two of receipt, but it is not guaranteed. Q. How many times can I use the list? A. Lists are sold on a per-use basis. If you purchase one list, then you may use it once. Q. Why do I have to include a sample of the mailing? A. In order to ensure that our list is being used legitimately, we have a validation system in place. Whenever we come across a mailing that appears to have used our list, we check to see if we have sold a label to the sending company and that we have a sample on file. If we can't confirm that we sold labels for that mailing, we start asking questions. Q. What's to stop me from copying the names from the list that you gave me? A. You are required to sign a single use agreement stating that you will not do that. Q. What if I have a question that isn't on this list? A. Email us at dba@aapm.org
