"Risky Business "




The Western History Association’s 48th annual conference will be held at the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah. 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 2006 conference in St. Louis, Missouri, we registered 747 attendees. At the 2005 conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, we had 893 registered attendees, and back in 2004, we hosted 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 Salt Lake City.

BOOTH SIZE PRICE
Single Conference Booth 500.00
Double Conference Booth 900.00

As in the past, we will be using the BEC Group as our exhibits and decorations company.  BEC will set up 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 May).  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).
