We have a number of sponsorship and advertising opportunities available.
Targeted Sponsorship Opportunities, include but are not limited to:
- Meals or Refreshment Breaks: A dedicated time for mingling with attendees and providing them with references or even a meal provides sponsors a chance to inform interested individuals about your organizations.
- Convention Swag: Each year, the ALLA Convention provides attendees with branded items (convention tote bags, t-shirts, pens, etc.) with not only the Convention Logo but also any sponsors who have helped purchase the items. Attendees utilizing these items for many years and with your logo included, knowledge of your organization will spread.
- Exhibit Hall Librarian Lounge: This year, the ALLA Convention will have a librarian lounge area in the Exhibit Hall to encourage mingling between attendees and vendors. It will also be an area for a variety of conversations and discussion to take place along with games, and other exciting activities.
- Convention Needs: For the convention to occur, the Alabama Library Association has a variety of needs they need to meet that will help encourage potential attendees. This year, some of those needs are free wifi, state-of-the-art presentation equipment, venue space, prizes, giveaways, and other necessities. These enhancements to the convention are promoted earlier to potential attendees so they can register early. All credit is given to the individual sponsors to help promote the specific organizations.
If you are interested in targeted sponsorship opportunities, please contact [email protected].
The Convention Chair will forward ad specs after you have placed your order.
