After the premier partners select, the rest of the exhibitors’ call-in times are determined by the amount of priority points the company has.

How can I earn points for Boston?

Your company can earn priority points for Boston space selection by submitting a contract onsite or in the weeks following Fort Worth, by having purchased a booth at the Fort Worth event, for being a SHARE 2020 member, for signing up as a SHARE Boston Premier Partner, for being a SHARE Boston contributing partner, and completing the post-event Fort Worth Partner survey.
