I applied in 2012-13. Didn't go to ACEP. Got 20+ interview invites.
I know that my former PD doesn't go to the fair. Not sure if an APD does either.
Ended up matching at a competitive program. I didn't even attend the pre-interview dinner - gasp!
Personally, I am surprised this practice works to score extra interviews as it hugely discriminates against applicants who cannot go to ACEP secondary to financial / familial limitations or just plain being on a rotation that does not allow absences for things like conferences....or maybe they just don't want to go to ACEP.
