Why Exhibit at the 2022 SAA Expo?

  • Redevelop relationships with archives, records, and information professionals from the US and around the world.

And each exhibit booth qualifies for two complimentary full conference registrations so that your representatives have a chance to interact with attendees throughout the meeting—virtually and in-person!

And don’t forget your Expo Hall Mini-Theater Presentation!

Your Mini-Theater Presentation provides you with the opportunity to increase your exposure and share your message! Exhibitors and sponsors may reserve 25 minutes during unopposed Expo Hall events, when most attendees are in the Hall. This is your time – outside your booth – to educate attendees and promote your products/services. A microphone, LCD projector, and screen will be available to support your in-person presentation.

2. Cancellation of Space — There will be a $200 administrative fee for cancellations received in writing by June 1, 2024, and a $300 administrative fee for cancellations received in writing by July 1, 2024. No refunds are available for cancellations received in writing after July 1, 2024.

3. Relocation — Conference organizers reserve the right to move a booth, in consultation with the Exhibitor, if necessary.

4. Sharing Exhibit Space — No Exhibitor shall assign, sublet, or share space allotted with another business or firm unless prior written approval has been obtained from the conference organizers. Exhibitors are not permitted to feature names or advertisements of non-exhibiting manufacturers, distributors, or agents in the Exhibitor’s display, with the exception of parent or subsidiary companies.

5. Fire Regulations — To ensure the safety of all participants, Exhibitors shall observe all state and local fire regulations. The cost for repairing any damages to the Hotel caused by the Exhibitor will be billed to the responsible Exhibitor. Nothing can be posted, tacked, nailed, screwed, or otherwise attached to any columns, walls, floors, ceiling, or furniture.

6. Exhibit Set Up — Display setup will begin at 8:00 AM on Thursday, August 15, 2024. All displays must be fully set up and ready by 4:30 pm on Thursday. After that time, any unattended booth with crated displays will be set up at the discretion of the conference organizers and all expenses will be charged to the Exhibitor. The Exposition will open promptly at 5:00 pm on Thursday, August 15. Exhibitors will not be permitted to store packing crates or boxes in the booth or the Exhibit Hall during Exhibit hours.  When properly marked, crates and boxes will be stored and returned to the booth by the service contractors; crates and boxes that are not labeled properly may be destroyed. No trunks, cases, or packing material shall be brought into or out of the Exhibit space during Exhibit hours.

Exhibits shall not project beyond the space allotted or obstruct the view or interfere with traffic to other exhibits. Exhibits shall not be more than 8 feet tall.  The wings of an Exhibit shall not project more than 3 feet from the back wall and may not be more than 48 inches high. Merchandise, signs, decorations, or display fixtures shall not be pasted, taped, nailed, or tacked to walls. No exhibit, merchandise, or equipment shall be left in any aisle, but shall be confined to Exhibit space. No signs or advertising devices shall be displayed outside Exhibit space or projected beyond limits of Exhibit space as to interfere with any other Exhibits.

7.  Concurrent Events—Limited hospitality and ad hoc meeting space is available in the designated conference hotel. The Exhibitor agrees not to extend invitations, call meetings, or otherwise encourage absence of attendees or exhibitors from the conference or the Exhibit Hall during the official hours of the conference and exhibits. All hospitality suite functions must be registered with the conference organizers and may not conflict with any conference plenary sessions, education sessions, or general receptions. Contact the conference organizers for further information on reserving hospitality space.

8. Exhibit Tear Down — The official closing time for the exhibits is 5:00 pm on Friday, August 16, 2024. The dismantling of displays is not allowed until the official closing time. Any Exhibitor that dismantles before the official time may be subject to a $400 penalty, at the conference organizers’ discretion. Crates will be returned starting at 5:00 pm on Friday. All Exhibitor displays or materials left in booths without instructions will be packed and shipped at the discretion of the conference organizers and all charges will be assessed to the Exhibitor.

9. Decorating and Shipping — The conference organizers will provide each Exhibitor with a detailed service kit from our Exposition Service Provider. This kit will include electrical, AV, and shipping information as well as additional services available. Note that certain fees from the Washington Hilton will apply. The Exhibit Hall is carpeted. (Should the Exhibitor require additional carpeting, it may be ordered from the decorator at an additional charge.)

10. Damages — It is agreed that the conference organizers and the host facility shall not be liable for any damage to, or destruction of, any exhibit from any cause or the theft or disappearance of any exhibit or property contained in and about the booth area. The Exhibitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SAA, and the host facility, or their employees or representatives, against any and all liabilities for damage, injury, or loss to all persons and any and all claims arising out of acts or omissions of exhibitors, their employees, representatives, or guests. SAA will not be held responsible or liable for charges or damages for any failure of performance due to Acts of God, labor disputes, shortage of materials, governmental authority, foreign hostilities, or other circumstances beyond reasonable control of either party.

11. Insurance Information — The conference organizers will endeavor to assist in the protection of Exhibitors by providing security at all times when the Exhibit Hall is closed. Due to the tremendous value of exhibits, however, it is impractical and impossible to insure Exhibitors’ equipment against loss, theft, damage, and breakage. Neither the exhibit building nor any of its employees or representatives, nor any representative of SAA nor any subcontractor will be responsible for any injury, loss, or damage to the Exhibitor, its employees, or its property. In addition, the Exhibitor should carry adequate insurance to protect from damage or injury caused by the negligence of the Exhibitor, its agent, or its employees. Show management will cooperate fully but cannot assume responsibility for damage to the Exhibitor’s property or lost shipments, either arriving or departing from the show site. If the exhibit fails to arrive, the Exhibitor will remain responsible for booth rental; refunds will not be made. Exhibitors should carry insurance against such risks.

12. Union Labor — Exhibitors must comply with union regulations applicable to installation, dismantling, and display of exhibits.

13. Observance of Laws — Exhibitors shall abide by and observe all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances of any applicable government authority and all rules of the Exhibit Building.

14. Exhibitor Conduct — Distribution of pamphlets, brochures, or any advertising matter must be confined to the exhibit space, unless prior written permission is received from the conference organizers. Exhibitor (or its representatives) shall not conduct itself (or themselves) in a manner that is consistent with SAA’s Code of Conduct.

15. Attendee Lists — The conference organizers will make registration lists (names and email addresses) available to the Exhibitor three weeks prior to and/or four weeks after the Exposition, if requested in writing by the Exhibitor. Lists are for one-time use only and may not be retained. Exhibitor may not sell, lend, or give these lists to any parties outside Exhibitor’s organization. All requests should be directed to csalgado@archivists.org.

Sponsorship of ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2021: Together/Apart

Dear Industry Partner:

SAA will meet virtually for its 85th Annual Meeting in August 2021, rather than in Anaheim as planned. (Mickey and Minnie will just have to wait!) This was a tough decision, given how much we’d all like to be together. But it does give us the opportunity to build on our success in 2020 (with more than 2,400 attendees!) and construct the 2021 SAA Annual Meeting from the ground up.

What does that decision mean for our industry partners? Based on your feedback about “virtual expos,” we’ve decided not to offer an “expo” this year. Instead you’ll have the opportunity to craft a conference sponsorship to serve your budget and marketing needs.

We’re excited to announce that our conference platform will allow us to display even more information about your company. In addition to your company logo and a link to your website, we’re able to include additional marketing materials that will be available to attendees both during and after the conference. We’ve provided a Virtual Listing page sample for your reference. (It is not expected that your staff be available at any specific time during the conference, attendees will be able to leave their contact information as well as direct message your staff via the conference platform. (You will also receive an email notification.) The sooner we receive your information, the longer it will be available on the conference platform! Sponsorship starts at $1,000. From there, you can choose from a variety of sponsorship levels or “Add-Ons” to meet your budget and enhance your marketing message. See the list below.

As always, we’re delighted to work with you to develop a sponsorship package that meets your needs. Just contact Carlos Salgado at csalgado@archivists.org to get started!

    Founded in 1936 and representing more than 6,000 individual and institutional members, the Society of American Archivists is North America’s oldest and largest national archival professional association. Its mission is to inform, educate, and advocate for archives and archivists in order to ensure the identification, preservation, and use of records of enduring value.
