Hotel Reservation Policy


Exhibitor Hotel ServicesThe following policy was developed to assist AAO Annual Ses-sion exhibitors in securing appropriate hotel accommodations.

All exhibiting companies at the American Association of Orthodontists’ Annual Session are expected to use the AAO official housing company to secure room reservations for all employees registered for the Annual Session.

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.

Shuttle Bus InformationThere will be shuttle buses for the AAO’s 2019 Annual Session between AAO-designated hotels and the convention center.

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.

1,500 - 2,400 sq. ft. $ 29.00/sq. ft.

2,500 - 3,400 sq. ft. $ 28.00/sq. ft.

On-Site InformationExhibitor StaffingIt is the policy of the AAO that all exhibits be staffed through-out the official open hours of the Exhibit Hall. Exhibitors are required to open and close their exhibits according to the official exhibit hours.

Each exhibiting company may register three (3) representatives at no cost per each 100 square feet purchased. Exhibitors may register additional representatives at the cost of $50.00 per badge.

Admission of GuestsAdmission of exhibitor guests is strictly prohibited. Badges will not be issued to representatives of non-exhibiting companies.

Exhibitors may not register orthodontists, dentists or other individuals as exhibitors unless they are employed by or officially represent the company and will staff the exhibit.

An exhibiting company who registers a representative from another company, or an orthodontist, dentist or other individual that is not an employee or official representative of the exhibit-ing company, will be assessed a $2,150 fee per non-authorized registrant. This fee represents the on-site registration fee for non-members, and it must be paid prior to the end of the show on May 7, 2019.

Solicitations by Non-ExhibitorsOnly registered AAO exhibitors are allowed in the Exhibit Hall or other programs related to the AAO Annual Session. Violators of this policy will be promptly dismissed from the Annual Session and will not be eligible to participate in future AAO exhibits.

Name BadgesExhibitors may register for name badges in March 2019 online through the AAO website at aaoinfo.org. Access the information by clicking on the “Exhibitor Name Badges” link for instructions. Exhibit name badges will be printed on-site. Once on-site in Los Angeles, CA, exhibitors can visit the exhib-itor registration counter to purchase additional name badges or to make name badge changes or corrections. The exhibitor registration counter is located in the South Lobby in the Los Angeles Convention Center.

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.

Stickers, ribbons and/or emblems, designed for the purpose of being affixed to the official Annual Session identification badge are strictly prohibited.

Exhibit Hall AdmissionExhibitors are allowed to enter the Exhibit Hall 2 hours before the opening and are allowed to stay one hour after the closing of the Exhibit Hall.

Messages and PagingMessages may be left at the AAO message center located in the Cyber Café. Messages will not be delivered.

Paging will only be allowed for documented emergencies. Exhibitors are encouraged to make arrangements through the Exhibitor Service Kit should they require telephone service in their exhibit. The Exhibitor Service Kit will be available online to exhibitors in March 2019.

Exhibitor-Sponsored Courses, Lectures, Study Groups, Clinics and Hospitality EventsExhibitors and other persons are required to complete the Function Space Request form to conduct a course, lecture, study group, clinic or other such event. Once the event is approved, appropriate available space will be assigned to the group, and the group will work directly with the venue assigned.

Exhibitors in violation of this policy may be penalized in any manner deemed appropriate by the AAO, including having contracted space canceled without refund and removal from the Exhibit Hall without refund of space rental fees.

The American Association of Orthodontists will allow the pre-sentation of meetings, programs, events, and courses by indi-viduals, organizations or business entities in conjunction with the Annual Session if they comply with the criteria listed below.

1. Permission must be requested by the host from the AAO no later than six months prior to the Annual Session to which the event relates, which shall include a description of the event, location, proposed promotional materials and anticipated audience size and makeup. All requests must be approved in writing by the AAO, and the AAO reserves the right to approve or disapprove any presentation or event in its sole and absolute discretion.

2. Orthodontic manufacturers and dental supply companies requesting permission must be exhibiting at the Annual Session or conference related to the request.

3. Events must be held within forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Annual Session scientific sessions or following the con-clusion of the Annual Session exhibition, with the exception of events sponsored and planned by entities related to the AAO, and then only with the prior approval of the Board of Trustees, in its sole and absolute discretion.

4. All event participants must be registered for the Annual Session to which the event relates.

5. Event organizers must utilize the AAO to secure official housing and meeting space. Events must be held in official AAO Annual Session facilities.

6. Approved event sponsors will not be allowed to use the AAO logo, Annual Session logo or refer in any way as being part of the Annual Session, unless previously authorized under an existing written agreement with the AAO.

7. Upon written approval, exhibitors may arrange for Annual Session attendees to visit/tour the exhibitor’s facility. Visits/tours may only take place during the date(s) designated by that year’s planning committee for Exhibitor-Sponsored Hospitality Events.

Any individual representing an organization or business entity found in violation of this policy may be subject to sanctions, as determined by the AAO Board of Trustees in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, prohibition of exhibition or making presentations (scientific or otherwise) at any AAO Annual Session conference or meeting.
