Example 1: Company ABC and company XYZ currently both have 30 priority points and exhibited at the AAN Annual Meeting. Company ABC submits its 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 postmeeting 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). Company ABC would get an additional 10 points for the above commitments, bringing its total to 52 points.

IMPLEMENTING THE AAN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FOR CME PROGRAMMING The American Academy of Neurology Institute (AAN Institute), the subsidiary of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), is approved by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The purpose of the AAN Institute CME programming is to support the AAN/AAN Institute’s commitment “to promote the highest-quality patient center neurologic care.” This goal is accomplished by producing high quality education, science, and practice programming that increases, knowledge, competence, and/or performance of physicians and the interdisciplinary neurologic care team. In providing CME programming, the AAN Institute complies with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support. Compliance is facilitated through the AAN Institute’s Relationships & Conflicts of Interest Policy. In addition, the AAN Institute has adopted the following policies in relation to CME programming and “Commercial Interests” (defined in the Relationships & Conflicts of Interest Policy as “including any entity developing, producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services, including drugs, devices, services or therapies, consumed by, or used on, patients to diagnose, treat, monitor, manage, and alleviate health conditions”).

Policies for AAN CME directors, faculty, cochairs, and abstract authors: 1. Directors are responsible for selecting speakers without influence from Commercial Interests. 2. Content creators are responsible for creating program content without influence from Commercial Interests.

2020 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting Industry Opportunities

Policies for industry employees and/or their third-party representatives: 1. Commercial Interest employees cannot be AAN/AAN Institute award recipients. 2. Commercial Interest employees cannot serve as course directors. 3. Commercial Interest employees cannot serve on CME contentcreating committees (including the Meeting Management Committee, Science Committee, Education Committee, Conference Subcommittee, Abstract Reviewers and Topic Workgroups). 4. Commercial Interest employees cannot serve as plenary session speakers. 5. Commercial Interest employees are permitted to be abstract authors. 6. Commercial Interest employees may serve as course faculty or session speakers only if the content/programming falls into one of the following three categories: a. The content of the CME activity is not related to the business lines or products of their employer; b. The content of the accredited CME activity is limited to basic science research (e.g., pre-clinical research, drug discovery) or the processes/methodologies of research, themselves unrelated to a specific disease or compound/drug. In these circumstances, the faculty, if a Commercial Interest employee, will not be permitted to present content that is related to clinical applications of the research/discovery or clinical recommendations concerning the business lines or products of their employer; or c. Commercial Interest employees can participate as technicians in accredited CME activities that teach the safe and proper use of medical devices. In this circumstance, Commercial Interest employees do not serve as faculty and cannot provide clinical
