Book Exhibitors

Welcome to the GSA Site for Book Exhibitors

After our positive experiences in San Diego, St. Paul, and Wahington, D.C., in 2010 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 Oakland Marriott City Center will be located in a wide corridor on the first floor, in the Convention Center lobby, directly adjacent to conference registration and in front of the East Hall ballroom, where the GSA luncheons and banquet will take place.

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:
