Eligibility to Exhibit
The purpose of the ACMG Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting and the accompanying exhibition is to further the education of professionals working in the field of medical genetics and genomics. ACMG reserves the right to accept or reject at its sole discretion any application to exhibit and to determine the eligibility of any proposed exhibit. Applications and proposed exhibits will be accepted or rejected based on criteria including, but not limited to, the products or services’ professional or educational benefit to the attendees and direct relation to the practice and advancement of genetics and genomics. Exhibit displays must be of an educational nature or provide practical application that emphasizes instruments, products, or services for use in teaching, research, treatment, or diagnosis in genetics and genomics; books or other publications in scientific fields of relevance to the interest of attendees; products or services consistent with the mission, purpose, and goals of ACMG; and spatial constraints in the exhibit hall.

Additionally, ACMG reserves the right, without refund, to refuse to allow the placement or continuation in the exhibition of any exhibit that does not in good faith substantially conform to the company description submitted for publication or which contains unrelated material(s). ACMG also reserves the right to close exhibits or parts of exhibits that reflect unfavorably on the character of the meeting. This applies to displays, literature, advertising novelties, souvenirs, conduct and attire of personnel, etc.
The receipt of your deposit and a reservation of a booth does not guarantee the assignment of exhibit space. If ACMG chooses not to or cannot assign your organization a space, a full refund of the deposit will be provided.Assignment of Space
ACMG assigns booths based on a Priority Point System.
Companies’ cumulative total includes points for exhibiting history, booth size and meeting sponsorship or ACMG Foundation support in 2024 and/or 2025. This system rewards long-time exhibitors and those who have provided meeting or ACMG Foundation support. Exhibitors with a shorter history accrue points on the amount of square feet purchased, commitment to support the upcoming meeting via sponsorship and support opportunities and by submitting the application by the points deadline.
Applications (with the required deposit) received by the Priority Point Deadline are arranged based on points accumulated and then assigned from highest to lowest priority points. For those companies with the same priority point total, the date of receipt and location of competitors are considered when assignments are made.
Once applications for exhibit space received by the priority point deadline have been assigned, the remaining applications or those received after the deadline will be assigned on a first-received, first-assigned basis, to the remaining space if any. The final floor plan with assigned space will be available in December.
Priority Points are accumulated as follows:
- 10 points for application received by November 1, 2024
- 5 points for each year exhibited since 2014
- 5 points for each 100 square feet reserved
Meeting sponsorship and advertising activity at the 2024 meeting and/or the 2025 Annual Meeting if commitment is made at the time of booth application:
- 10 points for support of $5,000 or less
- 20 points for support between $5,001 - $10,000
- 30 points for support between $10,001 - $24,999
- 40 points for support between $25,000 - $49,999
- 50 points for support between $50,000 - $99,999
- 60 points for $100,000 or more
2024 – 2025 ACMG Foundation for Genetic and Genomic Medicine Corporate Partners:

Registration fees and the link to the full registration site are located in the Registration Section of www.acmgmeeting.net. Company personnel who are registered to attend sessions who will also work in the booth should request “exhibitor credentials” when picking up their badge so that they can access the hall when it is closed to attendees (i.e. during set up, dismantle and before exhibits open each day).
Note: Exhibit company staff registering as full registrants will book their hotel rooms through the attendee hotel reservation site using their registration confirmation number. Their room reservations should not be made in the exhibit block through the exhibitor housing site.
Registration instructions for requesting Exhibit Personnel Badges and full registrations will be provided to exhibitors with booth confirmations in December 2024.
Exhibit Hall Only Passes:
To maintain the professional value of the exhibition and ensure focus on the exhibits, access to the Exhibit Hall is limited to registered attendees. Exhibitors wishing to evaluate the meeting for future year participation should contact ACMG at acmgexhibits@acmg.net for registration options.
Online full conference attendee registration opened in October 2024 at www.acmgmeeting.net.
