For Area Exhibitors

Welcome Exhibitors!

You are invited to display at the 2008 PCA/ACA National Conference held March 19 – 22, 2008, at the San Francisco Marriot, San Francisco, California. In addition, presses and publishers are invited to advertise in the conference Program.

The Popular Culture and American Culture Associations have held annual national meetings for over 30 years at locations around the U.S. and Canada.  Subject areas are broad and many, encompassing business, entertainment, fashion, gender, the body, ethnography, technology, science fiction, and more. Political, historical, literary—essentially all approaches are welcomed.  All our subject areas and area chairs are listed on the following page of our website: http://www.pcaaca.org/areas/areas.php .

We have sent letters of invitation to over 150 colleges and universities up and down the West Coast, so we should have a number of scholars and enthusiasts visit our conference and the exhibits. 

The exhibitors’ displays will be located in salons 8 and 9 in the Yerba Buena Ballroom, across from our registration booth, so book displays should get lots of traffic. You can view this lovely room at the Marriott’s website http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-photos/sfodt-san-francisco-marriott/ Click on the Yerba Buena salon photo.  

Booths are comprised of two 8-foot tables with draping, chairs, and an ID sign (electricity available as needed), all set-up by Freeman Design, with whom we have worked for years.  Freeman will soon provide us with an on-line site link that will list additional services and display options to consider; I will pass that site address along to you.  We can add links to your website from ours and link your ads to our site as well, at your request.

I will later send a floor layout with table locations and the shipping address for Freeman. If you have display accessories, you are certainly welcome to use your own. If you are interested or have questions, please contact me at rausche5@msu.edu .

We would love to have you join us—again or for the first time!
