Understanding Priority Points | Exhibitor Info
How do Priority Points determine booth selection?
The Priority Points System for exhibit space assignment sets forth the policy of APPA and PIDA and does not constitute a contract or create any rights, contract or otherwise, on behalf of any Exhibitor. Management reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Priority Points System at any time. After August 31, 2024, booths will be assigned strictly on the basis of first come, first served, and the Priority Points System will not apply.
APPA Member Priority Points System
Points are allocated on the basis of one (1) point for each year in which the member previously exhibited, plus one (1) additional point for each year of APPA membership.
The Booth Assignment Committee will make assignments of booth space on all applications received up to and including August 31, 2024. Assignments of space requested will be on the basis of earned points plus earliest date of exhibit space contract completion, including payment.
In the event that the same booth or booths are requested by more than one member, the member with the highest number of points will be given preference. If two or more members with the same number of points request the same space, earliest date of exhibit space contract completion, including payment, will be the deciding factor.

PIDA members' points are allocated on the basis of (1) point for each year of Exhibiting at Global Pet Expo, (.5) point for each year of Membership, and (.5) point for each year of attendance at the Pet Industry Leadership Summit. If an exhibitor misses two or more consecutive shows or drops out of membership for two or more years, all seniority is lost.
