Small Press / Product Table Top Rules and Regulations
A LOW-COST OPTION FOR EXHIBITING
Authors, new publications and technologies often are introduced to the library market by smaller start-up companies. In order to give these companies access to the vital market they seek, ALA has designated a special display option for these companies. If your organization is developing new products and services, this is a low-cost opportunity to introduce yourself the library market.
What It Includes
These exhibitors are supplied many standard benefits as in other areas of the exhibition, but are limited in the method in which they may utilize their display space.
The fee includes:
- One six-foot skirted (in official show colors) display table.
- Carpet (show colors)
- Back drape with a standard booth identification sign
- A standard listing in the Final Program
- Exhibitor Badges for access to the exhibit floor
Other furnishings (limited to signage, chairs, wastebaskets, electrical) may be ordered, at an additional charge, from the general contractor. Additional tables may not be brought in or ordered.
