Exhibition
Between Monday 25th July 2011 and Thursday 28th July 2011, IAML(UK & Irl) will be hosting a trade exhibition alongside the conference. This is an opportunity for music library suppliers and others to showcase their goods and services through meeting and selling to music librarians representing all kinds of library (including national, conservatoire, academic, public, broadcasting and orchestral libraries) around the world.
The exhibition space is conveniently located in Trinity College, adjacent to the Edmund Burke Theatre (the main conference theatre) and the refreshment area. This means it will have a large impact at the conference.
We will be offering 2 stand sizes: a 3m x 2m space at €400 and a 3m x 1m space at €200. These prices include the hire of the space, a table, electricity supply (220/240V, 50 Hz) and a Wifi internet connection. The fee will also includes a pair of tickets for each social event except the final dinner. Any additional persons attending the conference will need to register as accompanying persons.
Exhibitors may take advantage of discounted prices for advertising space or placement of conference bag inserts. For those taking a large space the discount is 50% while for those taking the smaller space the discount is 25%.
