The AARC will not approve meeting room requests that involve Congress attendees during Congress events/session times. Meeting rooms are approved/assigned on a first come-first served basis.
Exhibitors can offer accredited education with the approval of the AARC. Exhibitor will be charged $3,000* (payable to the AARC) for meetings or events in which accredited education is offered.
The exhibitor will be responsible for all costs associated with the room including but not limited to: planning and execution of food and beverage, room rental fee charged by hotel/convention center, audio/visual, internet, room set up, etc. All these fees will be charged directly to the exhibitor by the hotel/convention center.
The deadline to submit meeting room requests and changes to approved requests is Friday, October 2, 2026.
Exhibitor events should be complimentary for Congress attendees.
If your request is approved, we will connect you with the venue event team. You will coordinate all the details, including payment, for your room(s) directly with them including room set up, catering, AV, etc.
