Book Exhibitors

Welcome to the GSA Site for Book Exhibitors

After our positive experiences in San Diego and St. Paul, in 2009 we shall again arrange for exhibit space to be close to the conference registration desk and in an area that is guaranteed to maximize visibility and traffic.  Specifically, the exhibit area at the Crystal Gateway Marriott will be located in an L-shaped area on the mezzanine level, directly adjacent to conference registration and close to one of the ballrooms.

Each exhibitor will need to pay the table rental fee. Individual exhibit personnel will not need to register for the conference itself. Tables will be available at the rate of $150 per table. Kindly understand that GSA does not accept American Express, but only MasterCard and Visa. However, it is also possible to pay for tables by check.  Please send your checks to:
