Priority Points equals Years of Membership multiplied by 2 plus Past Participation Square Footage divided by 100. Years of Membership × 2 + Past Participation (SF) ÷ 100 = Priority Points. Definition of Years of Membership: Show Management chooses the company/division with the greatest number of years as an AEM member. An exhibitor must be a current member in good standing with AEM in order to have its years of membership used in calculating the membership number. Definition of Past Participation Number: Show Management uses the total square footage purchased by an exhibitor for The Utility Expo 2025. If a company acquired another company, the parent company can use the newly acquired company's exhibit space.
To receive an appointment, exhibitors must: Have submitted an application and 50% deposit by June 5, 2026 Have at least 20 Priority Points Have requested an outdoor booth OR requested at least 400 square feet if exhibiting indoors
Exhibitors who submitted the application and 50% deposit by June 5, 2026, and have at least 20 or more Priority Points are still a part of the Priority Space Assignment Process, but they won't be invited to a Virtual Space Assignment Appointment. Instead, Show Management will assign you the best available booth space in order of priority number.
Exhibitors with fewer than 20 Priority Points who submitted their application and deposit by the priority deadline will be assigned space in order of their Priority Points total and before exhibitors who applied after the deadline.
Virtual appointments are currently planned to take place starting in late October and into early November 2026.
Eligible exhibitors will receive appointment details by email in early October 2026. This appointment email will be sent to the Primary Exhibitor Contact listed on the space application, and they will be asked to fill out a confirmation form acknowledging that they received the email.
No. Appointments are scheduled in order of priority number. You will not be able to choose your date and time. This process requires strict adherence to an appointment schedule.
Because this process follows priority order, exhibitors cannot move the date or time of their appointment. Anyone who cannot attend should plan to send another representative to attend the appointment. If your company does not attend the space assignment appointment, Show Management will assign the next best available spot for you. Relocations may be requested but are not guaranteed.
Yes. Because exhibitors are unable to move their scheduled appointment, anyone who cannot attend should plan to send another representative to attend the appointment. You can provide the name of the alternate representative on the confirmation form sent to primary contacts when the appointment date is sent via email.
