- Exhibitors are allocated a number of sleeping rooms based on the booth size they have secured for the Academy's annual meeting. The same calculation is used for the number of complimentary exhibitor badges they may have for employees to staff the booth or attend the meeting.
- Those exhibitors who historically secure 20 or more hotel rooms per night were sent an Exhibitor Hotel Block Request Form in early May. If you have questions please contact exhibitions@aao.org.
