FPD CHINA EXPOSITION PRIORITY POINTS POLICY
We at SEMI value the member and non-member companies’ participation in our FPD China exposition. One of the many benefits of participation is the opportunity to accumulate priority points for Expositions. For SEMI Expositions, booth location is assigned according to the SEMI Priority Points Policy. Priority points are accumulated per Exhibitor based on the expositions where they participate and, in most cases, based on the amount of booth space the exhibitor is assigned. Below is an explanation of how priority points are accumulated, retained or forfeited. Participation Points SEMI Member Only One (1) point per year
Booth Points SEMI Member & Non-member Quarter (0.25) point per 9 sqm PAID exhibit space contracted
1.
Member Points: Member Points are awarded to active SEMI member companies or companies with a member parent, and are accumulated annually for the FPD China exposition(s) where the company exhibited.
2.
Booth Points: Booth Points are derived from the total PAID exhibit space which the company contracted with SEMI and actually exhibited with its own activities ever in FPD China exposition. The free, trade and gifted booths will not get Booth Points.
3.
Membership Cancellation: If SEMI cancels a membership due to non payment of membership dues, or if a company cancels their own membership, all participation points are forfeited. If the same company brings their membership up-to-date and provides payment for ‘back dues’, the company can keep all previous points earned. If the same company renews their membership, but prefers not to provide payment for ‘back dues’, the participation points begin accumulating from zero.
4.
Company Mergers: If two companies merge, the higher of the two priority point totals follow the new company. Priority points are not merged.
5.
Company Splits: If a company splits or spins off, the parent company will keep all priority points. This also applies when a Subsidiary Office chooses to separate from the parent company and creates its independent business.
6.
Co-exhibitor: Co-exhibitors will not accumulate any priority points.
7.
Pavilion: Each exhibitor in the pavilion will accumulate the priority points separately. Pavilion will not merge the priority points of all the exhibitors in it.
