What are priority points?

Priority points not only determine exhibit hall placement, but also help determine placement for group housing blocks. These points are calculated based on the company’s prior three years of participation. For example, the 2008 annual meeting standings have been determined by the points accumulated during 2005-2007. Please see page 16 for additional information. Questions regarding the priority-point system or support opportunities may be directed to development@hematology.org.
