Requirements for exhibiting
With a few exceptions, the AUSA Annual Meeting is a members-only event; display space is only available to AUSA Sustaining Member organizations and government or military organizations. Each year AUSA conducts an exhibit space draw during the Annual Meeting to select space for the next year’s event. Space is allocated based upon the Order-of-Merit List (OML) Points system. The OML is used by AUSA to establish the order in which exhibit space is allocated at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, display space is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
