Appointment Scheduling

Domestic Journalists may submit up to 25 requests for appointments with those Exhibitors who have not requested to Opt Out of the Journalist Appointment options.

Appointment requests are submitted via powwowonline.com; once the Online Appointment Scheduling period closes, the appointments will be computer-generated according to a priority matching order. You will receive your appointment schedule list a few weeks before International Pow Wow.

Press appointments will be scheduled so as not to conflict with official International Pow Wow Press activities (i.e., the Media Marketplace and the Press Conferences). Between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, there is the potential for a total of 22 appointments with exhibitors in their booths on the show floor during the official Business Appointments Sessions; however, it is possible that a Journalist might not receive 22 pre-scheduled appointments through the computer-generated matching process. The Manual Scheduling process offers an opportunity to request additional appointments to fill open slots.
