2026 Space Selection

Exhibit space is assigned by order of priority points calculated based on a variety of metrics tied to AMCP national meetings. This ranking system has a weighted emphasis on consistent exhibiting presence in the expo hall and corporate membership.

Recent past exhibitors will be offered the opportunity to reserve booth space for AMCP Nexus 2026, October 26-29, at the all-new Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center, in advance of general sales, according to the following schedule:

*By appointment to the AMCP Sales Office & Exhibitor-Sponsor Lounge at Nexus 2025 (Booth 115). Priority groups will be emailed invitations to schedule appointments. Please contact exhibits@amcp.org if you need assistance.

Only current exhibitors will be included in the priority ranking. Space assignment will be available on a first-come, first-served basis once general sales open. (Nexus 2025 non-exhibiting attendees have the option to select exhibit space for next year during walk-in hours at the AMCP Sales Office / Exhibitor Lounge (Booth #115): 1:00 pm- 3:00 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 28 and 9:00 am-11:00 am on Wednesday, Oct. 29.)

Priority Point System

Points are calculated during the three-year period prior to the event (e.g., points earned during 2023-2025 will be tallied for 2026 priority ranking). 

• Booth Size: 1 point per 100 square feet of total paid exhibit space.
• Exhibiting Company: 5 points per event. Co-exhibitors and cancellations do not earn exhibit points.
• Two-Show Bonus: 20 points are added for exhibiting in both meetings in 2025.
• Corporate Membership: 10 points for current membership status at time of ranking (approx. 21 days prior to sales open).
• Sponsorships: 1 point earned for pre-show and onsite promotional opportunities associated with the event. Non-exhibiting sponsors for the period tallied (2023-2025) do not earn priority points. 

Ties, Mergers, Acquisitions & Other Contingencies

• If two or more companies have equal numbers of points, the most recent activities will influence space assignment decisions. The largest booth at last year’s meeting will get assigned first. If points and booth size are tied, priority is awarded to the client who submitted the contract first. 
• If an exhibiting company is sold to a non-exhibiting company, the points of the acquired company are transferred. 
• If two exhibiting companies merge and they combine into one exhibit, the client retains the higher of the two companies. Points cannot be combined. 
• If an exhibiting company is acquired by another exhibitor and they want to maintain separate exhibits, they retain their separate points. 
• In the case of a dissolution of a partnership, the points will be equally divided between the newly created individual companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m unable to attend Nexus 2025. What are my options to select a space?

Nexus 2025 exhibitors may choose to send another company representative to select their booth space. Simply schedule an appointment and notify us at exhibits@amcp.org if you are sending someone in your stead. A copy of your booth selection and invoice will be emailed to you along with steps to sign the online exhibitor agreement. Booth reservations are held for 14 days and companies in tentatively assigned spaces may be relocated or released if not confirmed by contract after that period.

Alternatively, companies may request AMCP reserve the “best available” space on their behalf. Please contact us at exhibits@amcp.org with your booth requirements and an exhibiting contract and invoice will be sent at the time of your appointment to confirm your booth. 

May I be invoiced for my booth or sponsorship?

Yes. Online contracts allow payment by credit card or invoice (for payments by check or ACH). An invoice will be emailed to the primary contact on file after submitting a booth or sponsorship contract. Balances must be paid within 30 days of invoice date.
