Company ABC and company XYZ currently both have 30 priority points and exhibited at the 2017 AAN Annual Meeting. Company ABC submits its 2018 booth contract and deposit in September (5 + 2 points), books hotel rooms through AAN housing (2 points), submits the company description (1 point) as well as staff names (1 point) by the communicated deadline, and responds to the AAN post-meeting survey (1 point). Company XYZ submits its contract in December (5 points) and neglects to provide any of the additional information by the communicated deadlines. After the Annual Meeting, Company ABC will have 42 points, Company XYZ will have 35 points. Company ABC will receive priority booth assignments for the next meeting ahead of Company XYZ. Example 2: In addition to the above, Company ABC also spent $111,700 outside the Exhibit Hall (Industry Therapeutic Update, Full page ad in Exhibit Guide, and Door Drop insert).
