2009 Booth Assignments: Pre-Sell ProcessPre-Sell for 2009 will be done onsite at the 2008 conference in the Hyatt Regency Chicago pre-function area. Detailed information will be emailed to all exhibitor contacts on October 17, 2008.
Pre-Sell appointment times are scheduled based on past priority points earned. Each participating Business Partner earns one point for each booth space and one point for each $1,000 or equivalent in sponsorships, Education Foundation donations, and advertising. After two consecutive years of non-participation, priority points are lost (effective 2/9/90).
If you cannot make your scheduled Pre-Sell appointment time, you may fill out the Proxy Exhibitor Registration Application and send it to NACAS prior to the conference. At the time of your scheduled appointment, we will assign your booth based on availability.
After all 2008 pre-sell appointments have passed, remaining booths will be sold on a first come first serve basis.
