Exhibitor Registration
For the 2008 PAS Annual Meeting &
Exposition, you will again register your
personnel online at the PAS website, at the
Exhibitor Registration page. If you have any
questions, please contact Addie Pasquini, PAS
Exposition Coordinator, at apasquini@aap.org. To
ensure you do not exceed the allotted number of
exhibitor representatives, please also contact
Addie in the event of a cancellation. The
deadline for Advance Exhibitor Registration is
March 31, 2008.
Exhibitor Housing
To take advantage of the special
rates negotiated at the PAS official hotels for
the 2008 PAS Annual Meeting, your reservations
must be made through the official Housing
Bureau. Make reservations online at
www.pas-meeting.org, or by mail, fax or phone.
Further information will be mailed with your
booth assignment. As rooms will be assigned on a
first-come, first-served basis from a protected
block of rooms, you are strongly encouraged to
make housing arrangements soon after receiving
the information. If your company is requesting a
room block of five or more rooms, a group block
must be requested through the Housing Bureau.
Companies who make reservations for nine rooms
or less will receive two priority points.
Companies with ten or more rooms will receive
two priority points for the first nine people,
plus one point for each additional ten people
booked at any of the PAS official hotels. All
reservations must be made through the official
Housing Bureau.
Exhibitors and their agents are not permitted to
negotiate blocks of rooms directly with any
official PAS hotel. These violations impede
PAS’s ability to obtain adequate space.
Although most hotels are within walking distance
of the Hawaii Convention Center, the PAS has
arranged convenient shuttle bus service between
the Hawaii Convention Center and most PAS
official hotels.
