Where Can Industry Representatives Stay?

near and around downtown Seattle.
Exhibit Information
This is a very tight space, and we anticipate selling out the booth spaces early as we
have in past years. We are offering tabletop exhibit space only. Pop up displays cannot
be placed on either side of your table, nor block the view of other exhibit tables. Please
be considerate of attendees and other exhibitors and be sure not to block pathways and
exits.
Attendee Lists
Exhibitors will receive a list of pre-registered attendees in your meeting packet at the
registration desk. This list will include the name, credentials, and attendee city/state for
all registered attendees that have given consent to share their contact information, per
ACCME rules. Please note the following 2022-2023 Accreditation Rules regarding names
and contact information. “As of January 2022, the ACCME put into effect a new rule with
respect to how exhibitors and sponsors are given conference attendee names and
contact information. This means that all attendees must give explicit consent to provide
their name and contact information prior to exhibitor’s receiving a list of attendees.”
