Priority Period Assignment Guidelines

Initial space assignments are made for companies that submit their exhibit space application with deposit by the June 13, 2008 priority period deadline, using the following criteria:

  • Returning 2007 exhibitors
  • Membership status with AMI*
  • Earned AMI seniority points
  • Amount of space required
  • Date exhibit space application and deposit are received

*Please note that AMI members in good standing will be assigned exhibit space prior to those companies that are non-members. For more information regarding membership or account status, please contact Eric Zito at 202-587-4223 or ezito@meatami.com.  To learn more about how AMI is leading the industry, please visit www.meatami.com

During the initial assignments, if two or more exhibitors request the same location in its original configuration, the AMI member exhibitor that has a greater degree of past participation will be given preference.  Should two or more member companies with the same level of past participation request the same location in its original configuration, the date of receipt of the application and deposit will be used as a tiebreaker.

As you review the exhibit floor layout, please keep in mind that it has been designed to meet the strict codes set forth by the Fire Marshal, while also considering optimal traffic flow and historical exhibit space requirements.  The result is a working plan that in many cases can be altered, after the initial assignments are complete, to create the custom sized exhibit space required to meet your needs.  After June 13, space is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. The sponsors reserve the right to make the final determination of all space assignments in the best interest of the show.

During the priority period, requests for 2009 locations that are the same or similar to the exhibit your company had in 2007, will receive special consideration.
