46th Annual WHA Conference
Advertising & Exhibits
Hyatt Regency St. Louis at Union Station
St. Louis, Missouri Oct. 11-14, 2006

"Making Common Ground"


    The Western History Association’s 46th annual conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency at Union Station in St. Louis, Missouri.  We hope you will join us this year in exhibiting at the conference and advertising in our conference program.

    Whether you are a returning exhibitor or new to the WHA conference, we look forward to working with you this year!  At the 2005 conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, we had 893 registered attendees and in 2004 we had 952 attendees in Las Vegas, Nevada.  We anticipate a large attendance at this year’s conference as well and we hope you will join us in St. Louis—the “Gateway to the West.” 


Please note: Due to the WHA relocation from University of New Mexico to University of Missouri-St. Louis (taking place on July 1, 2006), the deadline schedule has changed.  The conference program will be printed much earlier this year, so if you would like your institution or association listed in the program and/or would like your advertisement included, you must meet these deadlines.  Send all reservation forms and ads to the current WHA office at umsl.  However, please send all payments to the WHA office at UMSL.*  We appreciate your patience and support during this transition.  Do not hesitate to call or email our office if you have any further questions.

2006 EXHIBITS
BOOTH SIZE
PRICE
10 X 10 Conference Booth 500.00
Double 10 X 10 Conference Booth 900.00
Triple 10 x 10 Conference Booth 1,300.00

As in the past, we will be using the BEC Group as our exhibits and decorations company.  BEC will set up 10’ X 10’ booths.  Each booth will come equipped with back wall and side drapery as needed and a 7” X 44” identification sign with your name and booth number.  BEC will send an exhibitor’s packet to you with a price list for whatever other equipment you may need.  For a map of the exhibit area, a link to a PDF map is below or you can contact our office to have a map faxed or mailed to you.

A note on exhibitor conference registration: Exhibitor registration forms will be sent to the exhibits contact and will also be available on our website (usually in June).  Exhibitors do not pay an individual registration fee but all exhibitors must register for the conference so that there will be a badge prepared for you.  Making a reservation for space does not automatically register exhibitors for the conference.  All activities beyond basic registration must be pre-registered and pre-paid by the conference attendee(s).
