Medical Library Association Annual Conference & Exhibition 2009

Sunrise Seminars

On Sunday, May 17, Monday, May 18, and Tuesday, May 19, MLA is offering a limited number of Sunrise Seminar opportunities, for exhibitors to conduct professional education presentations for MLA attendees. There is no defined presentation format: audiovisual presentations, panel discussions, individual speaker presentations, or demonstrations are all welcome.

Paid exhibitors are required to complete this form and submit $600 per seminar to secure a room. All applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and will be confirmed by email beginning January 5, 2009. Applications will be accepted until all available rooms are filled or until February 9, 2009, for inclusion in the onsite MLA Official Program. You may request space after this date, and if there is still space available, your session will be promoted in the onsite addendum.

In return for the application fee, MLA will allow usage of meeting room space at no cost and provide theater-style seating (for between 100 and 400 people), a podium, and a head table. No changes in room seating setups can be accommodated. Room sizes will be assigned to exhibitors based on past attendance data, your suggestion below, and available space. MLA will also promote these opportunities before the meeting at www.mlanet.org , in the MLA ’09 Official Program, or program addendum and with a 22″ × 28″ sign outside the presentation door (upon request). Exhibitors are encouraged to promote their Sunrise Seminars directly with their customers and MLA attendees. MLA reserves the right to adjust meeting room assignments until the MLA Official Program goes to print in March. Even after room assignments are issued, exhibitors should contact the conference director to reconfirm room assignments before promotional pieces are designed.
