Accommodations for the Annual Session can be secured through OnPeak (AAO Hotel Services) after exhibit contract and deposit have been received.
If your company requires a block of 10 or more rooms, please send arrival/departure dates and hotel preference to OnPeak Exhibitor & Group Analyst via e-mail to Colleen Rath at [email protected] or call direct at (312) 527-7304.
Hotel Reservation PolicyExhibitors are allowed to hold a block of rooms equal to the actual pick up for the previous year plus a maximum increase of 10%, unless they have increased their amount of exhibit space.

Exhibit Space and Assignment
Exhibit Space Online ContractClick on the link above to reach the Exhibit Contract online.
Space Assignment PolicyInitial space assignments are made in January 2019 for all applications received with deposits by December 3, 2018. After the initial assignment of space based on the criteria listed below, exhibitors are accepted and space is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within the other overall policies contained in the Invitation to Exhibit.
The assignment of space is determined by these general criteria:
• Amount of square feet purchased
• The number of previous meetings attended
• The date of receipt of the completed contract and deposit
• The nature of the company
• The products to be displayed
The AAO reserves the right to limit the amount of square feet purchased by any single exhibitor in order to preserve the diversity of the Exhibit Hall. The AAO also has the right to limit the number of exhibitors of similar products or services.
The AAO reserves the right to assign exhibitors within the Exhibit Hall according to the type of products or services exhib-ited. Other factors involved in the space assignment are the configuration of the Exhibit Hall and the theme of the Annual Session.
The AAO provides exhibits and displays outside of the Exhibit Hall for AAO-endorsed companies, not-for-profit organizations, and AAO services.
* Based on criteria listed below
Relocation of ExhibitsThe AAO may alter the location of any exhibit at any time, if in the best interest of the exhibition. The AAO also has the right to prohibit or remove any exhibit, or part of any exhibit, that violates policy, local ordinance, or is judged inappropriate by the AAO.
Exhibitors requesting additional available space on-site will be allowed to move upon approval by the AAO Senior Meetings and Exhibits Manager. The AAO Senior Meetings and Exhibit Manager reserves the right to deny additional space requests should the request cause undue hardship to the exhibition.
Space Rental FeesThe AAO space rental fees are based on the total square feet utilized. Space in the Exhibit Hall is rented on a square foot basis, with minimum rental being 100 square feet in a 10’x10’ configuration. When appropriate, the exhibit areas are provided with an 8’-high backdrape and a 3’-high side rail. The AAO re-serves the right to determine island configuration availability.
Space Rental Fees
100 - 500 sq. ft. $ 31.00/sq. ft.
600 - 1,400 sq. ft. $ 30.00/sq. ft.

Security personnel will be located at all entrances to the Exhibit Hall to ensure that only properly registered persons enter. Any transfer or unauthorized use of the official name badge is prohibited. Name badges may not be altered in any way.
