Priority Points
The NACUFS Priority Point System provides a fair and transparent method for determining the order in which companies may select their exhibit space during the initial assignment for the National Showcase. Each company who joins NACUFS and participates in its events has a priority point total in the Association’s records. These priority points are cumulative for the most recent three-year period.
