American Library Association Conferences & Exhibitions

Seniority Points

The following is a list of seniority points earned following the 2008 Annual Conference. Under parent companies are listed the divisions or imprints that have exhibited. One point is earned for each year the organization exhibits in the annual conference. The 1924 annual conference was the first at which exhibit records were kept. There were no exhibits in 1943, 1944 or 1945, due to the war. Points are used for the first round of space assignments for both the Annual Conference and Midwinter Meeting exhibits.

In the case of merger or purchase, the higher point total is applied to the new company; points are not combined.
