Affiliate Meeting Requests

Hosting ancillary meetings, social forums, and/or opening a hospitality suite, requires approval from APSS management. Requests for all function space at the APSS contracted hotels must be arranged and approved through the APSS. Space requests for events to be held in the Baltimore Convention Center will not be approved.

In order to fully promote the educational activities of the meeting and the visitation of the exhibit hall, the APSS prohibits the use of hospitality suites and meeting rooms during the scientific program on June 14 from 1:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and June 15-17 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Companies that do not exhibit at SLEEP are not allowed to host hospitality functions, conduct market research, or distribute handouts.

An affiliate meeting may include, but is not limited to, social functions and receptions, committee and board meetings, staff meetings, alumni reunions, industry or exhibitor pre- and post-conference meetings, and scientific investigator meetings. 

In general, affiliate meetings that are primarily educational or scientific in nature, or that involve sales presentations, product demonstrations, or equipment showcases, will not be accepted. 

Deadline for Requests: May 29, 2026.

Submit the affiliate meeting request form and nonrefundable application fees to the APSS Meeting Department via email at [email protected] or via fax at (630) 737-9790. Please allow approximately 5 to 7 business days to process the request.
