MHI Membership All MHI Member companies will receive fifty (50) points for joining MHI if they have not been a member for the seven (7) previous years. Additionally, each MHI member company is credited with two hundred (200) points for being a current paid member in good standing with MHI for the current and previous year.
Early Membership Renewal Any MHI member company who renews their membership for 2024 prior to Dec. 31, 2023 will receive five (5) points in 2024 that will go towards the MODEX 2026 Space Draw.

2022 and they have not been a member since 2013 they will receive fifty (50) points that will be added to their Loyalty

Frequently Asked Questions
How are loyalty points handled after an acquisition or merger?
For Space Draw, the new parent company will have access to all its divisional company’s points earned
through exhibitions. All divisions will still have access to their original and future loyalty points for our
annual rewards packages that offer discounts to MHI programming and events. It is the responsibility of
the acquirer to let MHI know of their purchase.
Any acquisition notifications that occur after Friday, October 20, 2023 may not be processed in time for the MODEX 2024 Space Draw.
What if I believe my company’s Loyalty Point total is incorrect?
Loyalty Points are calculated with great care and we believe they accurately reflect the status of each
MHI Member company. However, if you believe your company’s point total is incorrect or there is an error
please contact the MHI Membership Department at membership[at]mhi.org.
What happens at the end of the year to my Loyalty Points?
Point totals remain where they currently stand and the annual points earned start over at zero (0) each
calendar year.
How can I check my point total?
Members can visit mhi.org/loyalty/points to check their current total. If you do not know your user
credentials, please contact the MHI Membership Department at membership[at]mhi.org.
What if I change companies during the year – which company gets the loyalty points I personally earned?
For in-person and virtual events, the company you are employed by at the time of the event will receive the loyalty points. For volunteer leadership positions, the company you were employed by for the majority of the year will receive the points. For specific questions, please contact the MHI Membership department at membership[at]mhi.org.
Rewards Package
When will I know what my rewards are?
At the beginning of the year, Membership Packets will be mailed with point totals and corresponding
Rewards Packages from the previous year. This is also available under the “For Members” portion of the
mhi.org website.
How do I receive my rewards?
Every January, MHI Member companies will receive a Rewards package outlining the amount of Loyalty
Points they have accumulated over the past year and what they can be redeemed for.
How long do I have to use my rewards?
Each member company will receive their Rewards Package during the next calendar year and can use their points during that year.
Example: Points earned in 2021 will apply to their 2022 Rewards Package that can be redeemed January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022.
Space Draw
What happens if my company buys an additional booth, increases/reduces booth size, or buys new
or additional advertising/sponsorship products?
Each company will receive full credit for any changes/additions that positively or negatively impact the
point total. MHI updates each company’s Loyalty Point total quarterly as well as before each exhibit space
draw.
What happens at the Space Draw if two companies tie in Loyalty Points?
If two or more companies tie in Loyalty Points, the date and time the completed lease is received by MHI
will be the tie-breaker.
How are Parent Company and Divisional Company’s points handled in regards to position at the
Space Draw?
The Company/Organization (parent or divisional) that has the highest total of Loyalty Points will have their
total points combined with the total Exhibit Space points of any company/organization in their group to
determine their position in the Space Draw. See example for clarification.
Is there a cutoff date for Loyalty Points to apply to the point total for Space Draw?
Yes, Loyalty Points for the following categories must be finalized and, if applicable, paid in full one week prior to the Space Draw lease deadline:
