Priority Point System
Secure Your Best Booth Position for #SHAPEBaltimore
The Priority Point System recognizes and rewards loyal supporters of SHAPE America who, through exhibiting, advertising, sponsoring and participating as a SHAPE America Professional or Premier Partner, demonstrate their dedication to the health and physical education profession. Priority Points are used in the scheduling process to determine the space selection order for the following year's SHAPE America National Convention and Expo. As an added benefit for investing in sponsorship, advertising or the SHAPE America Partner Program, exhibitors will receive bonus priority points. If you are seeking an enhanced SHAPE America National Convention and Expo experience in 2025 (#SHAPEBaltimore), we strongly encourage organizations to invest in these additional support opportunities for the purpose of bolstering your overall reach.
5 Ways to Accrue Priority Points
- One (1) point per 100 square feet of space purchased in 2022, 2023 or 2024 (e.g., 100 sq. ft. = 1 point, 200 sq. ft. = 2 points, etc.)
- One (1) point per year of consecutive participation as an exhibitor (2022, 2023 and 2024)
- Earn additional points for 2024 convention sponsorship based on your support level, as outlined in the Sponsorship Chart (see chart below)
- One (1) point for the first $500 spent on 2024 convention advertising and one (1) point for additional convention advertising dollars spent, as outlined in the Advertising Chart (see chart below)
- One (1) point for SHAPE America Professional Partner and two (2) points for SHAPE America Premier Partner
