Louis Armstrong said it: “Preservation Hall, now that’s where you’ll find all the greats!”

In 2013, “Preservation Hall” shifts to the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, where you’ll have access to the year’s largest audience of archives, records, and IT professionals who are eager to learn about your products and services, ask questions, and provide their perspectives. “Preservation Hall” brings together—in one place and at one time—the purchasing decision makers at the national, state, and local levels. Take advantage of their great ideas—and share a few of your own!

Why Exhibit at ARCHIVES | New Orleans 2013?  For the HOT prospects, of course!

• Find your target audience among more than 1,800 archives, records, and IT professionals representing universities, government, libraries, corporations, religious institutions, museums, and more.
• Develop relationships with archives, records, and information professionals from the US and around the world.
• Continue connections with current customers.
• Hear what archives, records, and information professionals have to say about your products – and their future product needs.
• Increase your knowledge and understanding of the archives, records, and information professions.
• Enjoy 10 hours of conveniently scheduled exhibit time, of which five full hours is unopposed by education programming.
• Sell your products on the show floor.

You’ll have lots of time to interact with your current and prospective customers, as attendees are drawn to “Preservation Hall” for the Grand Opening Happy Hour on Thursday evening and three events on Friday:  The (new!) First Things First Coffee Break, the All That Jazz Brunch, and an hour-long Last Chance Break.

And you’ll qualify for outstanding sponsorship and advertising opportunities to broaden your reach and suit your level of commitment.  (Prime exhibit space is reserved for corporate sponsors.)
