Why Exhibit at the 2022 SAA Expo?

SAA members are eager to return to an in-person meeting, but many members were able to attend their first SAA conference because of the convenience of a virtual conference. With a hybrid conference you will have access to your target audience among thousands of archives, records, and information management professionals representing government, universities, libraries, corporations, religious institutions, museums, and more—online and in-person!

  • Redevelop relationships with archives, records, and information professionals from the US and around the world.
  • Reconnect with current customers and SAA Members.
  • Learn what archives, records, and information management professionals have to say about your products – and what their future product needs are as they return to their institution and offices
  • Increase your knowledge and understanding of the archives, records, and information professions.
  • Enjoy 11 hours of conveniently scheduled exhibit time, of which 5.25 full hours is unopposed by education programming.
  • Sell your products online and on the show floor.

You’ll have lots of opportunities to reconnect with current and prospective customers! Attendees will be drawn to the Hall for the Grand Opening Happy Hour on Thursday evening and three events on Friday: Morning Coffee Break, the All-Attendee Lunch, and the hour-long Closing Break. The virtual platform provides page analytics and a lead retrieval where attendees can leave their business card. And each exhibit booth qualifies for two complimentary full conference registrations so that your representatives have a chance to interact with attendees throughout the meeting—virtually and in-person!

And don’t forget your Expo Hall Mini-Theater Presentation!

Your Mini-Theater Presentation provides you with the opportunity to increase your exposure and share your message! Exhibitors and sponsors may reserve 25 minutes during unopposed Expo Hall events, when most attendees are in the Hall. This is your time – outside your booth – to educate attendees and promote your products/services. A microphone, LCD projector, and screen will be available to support your in-person presentation. Mini-Theater presentations appear in the schedule and mobile app so that attendees can add your session to their personal schedules. See sponsor prospectus for pricing.


Exhibitors receive:

  • Two free full conference registrations with each 8' x 10' booth (a $1,200 value!). Your representatives will be able to interact outside of your booth with conference attendees at education sessions and networking events throughout the meeting.

  • Representatives will have access to the Virtual Booth to make and receive meeting requests, view analytics, chat with attendees, and participate in the virtual conference. 

  • Live chat with attendees during your virtual Mini-Theater Presentation.

  • Your company listing on the conference website—as soon as your reservation is complete—with a link to your website and full contact information.

  • A company profile in the virtual platform, online schedule, and mobile app.

  • One-time use of the pre-registrants list, with contact information (a $400 value).

  • One fully piped and draped exhibit space (8-foot back wall drape and 3-foot side rail drape), one skirted 6-foot table, two side chairs, one wastebasket, and a 7” x 44” identification sign.

The cost for repairing any damages to the Hotel caused by the Exhibitor will be billed to the responsible Exhibitor. Nothing can be posted, tacked, nailed, screwed, or otherwise attached to any columns, walls, floors, ceiling, or furniture.

6. Exhibit Set Up — Display setup will begin at 8:00 AM on Monday, August 25, 2025. All displays must be fully set up and ready by 4:30 pm on Monday. After that time, any unattended booth with crated displays will be set up at the discretion of the conference organizers and all expenses will be charged to the Exhibitor. The Exposition will open promptly at 5:00 pm on Monday, August 25. Exhibitors will not be permitted to store packing crates or boxes in the booth or the Exhibit Hall during Exhibit hours.  When properly marked, crates and boxes will be stored and returned to the booth by the service contractors; crates and boxes that are not labeled properly may be destroyed. No trunks, cases, or packing material shall be brought into or out of the Exhibit space during Exhibit hours.

Exhibits shall not project beyond the space allotted or obstruct the view or interfere with traffic to other exhibits. Exhibits shall not be more than 8 feet tall.  The wings of an Exhibit shall not project more than 3 feet from the back wall and may not be more than 48 inches high. Merchandise, signs, decorations, or display fixtures shall not be pasted, taped, nailed, or tacked to walls. No exhibit, merchandise, or equipment shall be left in any aisle, but shall be confined to Exhibit space. No signs or advertising devices shall be displayed outside Exhibit space or projected beyond limits of Exhibit space as to interfere with any other Exhibits.

7.  Concurrent Events—Limited hospitality and ad hoc meeting space is available in the designated conference hotel. The Exhibitor agrees not to extend invitations, call meetings, or otherwise encourage absence of attendees or exhibitors from the conference or the Exhibit Hall during the official hours of the conference and exhibits. All hospitality suite functions must be registered with the conference organizers and may not conflict with any conference plenary sessions, education sessions, or general receptions. Contact the conference organizers for further information on reserving hospitality space.

8. Exhibit Tear Down — The official closing time for the exhibits is 5:00 pm on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. The dismantling of displays is not allowed until the official closing time. Any Exhibitor that dismantles before the official time may be subject to a $400 penalty, at the conference organizers’ discretion. Crates will be returned starting at 5:00 pm on Tuesday. All Exhibitor displays or materials left in booths without instructions will be packed and shipped at the discretion of the conference organizers and all charges will be assessed to the Exhibitor.

9. Decorating and Shipping — The conference organizers will provide each Exhibitor with a detailed service kit from our Exposition Service Provider. This kit will include electrical, AV, and shipping information as well as additional services available. Note that certain fees from the Hilton Anaheim will apply. The Exhibit Hall is carpeted. (Should the Exhibitor require additional carpeting, it may be ordered from the decorator at an additional charge.)

10. Damages — It is agreed that the conference organizers and the host facility shall not be liable for any damage to, or destruction of, any exhibit from any cause or the theft or disappearance of any exhibit or property contained in and about the booth area. The Exhibitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SAA, and the host facility, or their employees or representatives, against any and all liabilities for damage, injury, or loss to all persons and any and all claims arising out of acts or omissions of exhibitors, their employees, representatives, or guests. SAA will not be held responsible or liable for charges or damages for any failure of performance due to Acts of God, labor disputes, shortage of materials, governmental authority, foreign hostilities, or other circumstances beyond reasonable control of either party.

11. Insurance Information — The conference organizers will endeavor to assist in the protection of Exhibitors by providing security at all times when the Exhibit Hall is closed. Due to the tremendous value of exhibits, however, it is impractical and impossible to insure Exhibitors’ equipment against loss, theft, damage, and breakage. Neither the exhibit building nor any of its employees or representatives, nor any representative of SAA nor any subcontractor will be responsible for any injury, loss, or damage to the Exhibitor, its employees, or its property. In addition, the Exhibitor should carry adequate insurance to protect from damage or injury caused by the negligence of the Exhibitor, its agent, or its employees. Show management will cooperate fully but cannot assume responsibility for damage to the Exhibitor’s property or lost shipments, either arriving or departing from the show site. If the exhibit fails to arrive, the Exhibitor will remain responsible for booth rental; refunds will not be made. Exhibitors should carry insurance against such risks.

12. Union Labor — Exhibitors must comply with union regulations applicable to installation, dismantling, and display of exhibits.
