Dear Exhibitor,
| It is with pleasure that I present this year’s Prospectus
for Exhibits & Sponsorship to you. We are appreciative of the feedback you
gave us at last fall’s conference and took many of your suggestions into
account as we planned for this year. You will notice several changes that
I believe you will find to your liking.
We have included an Exhibitor Session space in the Exhibit Hall. The
Silver – Platinum Packages automatically include the opportunity to
present a session of your own choosing in the Exhibit Hall. |

Information Regarding the Exhibit Area
Exhibit Location:
- We have been moved to the Panzacola section of the conference center.
This will provide easier access to exhibits as it is closer to conference
parking and entry to the area from the resort.
- A limited number of Preferred booths will be located in the
Pre-conference hallway that participants will go through on their way to
both registration and the General Sessions. Nighttime security will be
provided and included in the fees.
- Preferred booths will also be located in the exhibit hall. These will
directly connect with the General Session area and Exhibitor Session area.
Exhibit Hospitality:
- Either myself, or another volunteer from the Florida Reading
Association, will man the Exhibit Coordinator table each day from 7:30 –
5:15.
- Coffee will be provided on Friday and Saturday mornings from 7:30 –
9:30.
- Lemonade and iced tea will be provided on Friday and Saturday afternoons
from 2:00 – 4:00.
Exhibit Hall Opening Night Gala:
- We will again open the Exhibit Hall to attendees from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on
Thursday evening so they may preview exhibits, speak with your
representatives and make their plans for returning on Friday and Saturday.
- We have incorporated a fee to offset the cost of food in the Preferred
Exhibit through the exhibitor/sponsor packages.
- You will still be able to order food for your own booth if you so
choose.
Exhibit Packages/Fees:
- There are a range of options so that you may choose what will best meet
the needs of your company.
- The Bronze through Platinum level packages include ad space of various
sizes for all of the remaining 2009 – 2010 publications of The Florida
Reading Journal (formerly The Florida Reading Quarterly).
- As you review the packages, you will note that we have incorporated
various ways to market your company and allow you the opportunity to make as
many prospective client contacts as possible.
Exhibitor Passport Program:
- Each attendee will be given a “Exhibitor Passport” with the logos of
exhibitors.
- Participants will be given the opportunity to win a trip for a weekend
resort getaway just by visiting all of the booths on the “passport” they are
given.
- Those exhibitors who select one of the Bronze – Platinum packages will
automatically have their logo on the passport.
- Once a passport has been completed, it will be turned in for the drawing
to be held on Saturday afternoon.
I look forward to working with you during the next few months. Please
contact me at anytime with questions or concerns that you may have.
Best regards,
Dr. Evan Lefsky
Exhibits Coordinator
