2023 Exhibitor and Sponsor Prospectus

IMPORTANT ATTENDEE LIST SCAM ALERT & DISCLAIMER

Please be advised that some exhibitors and attendees have been contacted by an unauthorized third party claiming to be SAA’s event & trade show manager selling attendee lists. This is a scam and not associated with SAA or CoSA in any way. SAA does not authorize any third party organizations to sell attendee lists or to contact you. If anyone calls or emails you to say that they want to sell you an attendee list, do not provide them with any personal information. Please report any such interactions to conference@archivists.org.
