10. Damages — It is agreed that the conference organizers and the host facility shall not be liable for any damage to, or destruction of, any exhibit from any cause or the theft or disappearance of any exhibit or property contained in and about the booth area. The Exhibitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SAA, and the host facility, or their employees or representatives, against any and all liabilities for damage, injury, or loss to all persons and any and all claims arising out of acts or omissions of exhibitors, their employees, representatives, or guests. SAA will not be held responsible or liable for charges or damages for any failure of performance due to Acts of God, labor disputes, shortage of materials, governmental authority, foreign hostilities, or other circumstances beyond reasonable control of either party.

11. Insurance Information — The conference organizers will endeavor to assist in the protection of Exhibitors by providing security at all times when the Exhibit Hall is closed. Due to the tremendous value of exhibits, however, it is impractical and impossible to insure Exhibitors’ equipment against loss, theft, damage, and breakage. Neither the exhibit building nor any of its employees or representatives, nor any representative of SAA nor any subcontractor will be responsible for any injury, loss, or damage to the Exhibitor, its employees, or its property. In addition, the Exhibitor should carry adequate insurance to protect from damage or injury caused by the negligence of the Exhibitor, its agent, or its employees. Show management will cooperate fully but cannot assume responsibility for damage to the Exhibitor’s property or lost shipments, either arriving or departing from the show site. If the exhibit fails to arrive, the Exhibitor will remain responsible for booth rental; refunds will not be made. Exhibitors should carry insurance against such risks.

12. Union Labor — Exhibitors must comply with union regulations applicable to installation, dismantling, and display of exhibits.

13. Observance of Laws — Exhibitors shall abide by and observe all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances of any applicable government authority and all rules of the Exhibit Building.

14. Exhibitor Conduct — Distribution of pamphlets, brochures, or any advertising matter must be confined to the exhibit space, unless prior written permission is received from the conference organizers. Exhibitor (or its representatives) shall not conduct itself (or themselves) in a manner that is consistent with SAA’s Code of Conduct.

15. Attendee Lists — The conference organizers will make registration lists (names and email addresses) available to the Exhibitor three weeks prior to and/or four weeks after the Exposition, if requested in writing by the Exhibitor. Lists are for one-time use only and may not be retained. Exhibitor may not sell, lend, or give these lists to any parties outside Exhibitor’s organization. All requests should be directed to csalgado@archivists.org.

Sponsorship of ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2021: Together/Apart

Dear Industry Partner:

SAA will meet virtually for its 85th Annual Meeting in August 2021, rather than in Anaheim as planned. (Mickey and Minnie will just have to wait!) This was a tough decision, given how much we’d all like to be together. But it does give us the opportunity to build on our success in 2020 (with more than 2,400 attendees!) and construct the 2021 SAA Annual Meeting from the ground up.

What does that decision mean for our industry partners? Based on your feedback about “virtual expos,” we’ve decided not to offer an “expo” this year. Instead you’ll have the opportunity to craft a conference sponsorship to serve your budget and marketing needs.

We’re excited to announce that our conference platform will allow us to display even more information about your company. In addition to your company logo and a link to your website, we’re able to include additional marketing materials that will be available to attendees both during and after the conference. We’ve provided a Virtual Listing page sample for your reference. (It is not expected that your staff be available at any specific time during the conference, attendees will be able to leave their contact information as well as direct message your staff via the conference platform. (You will also receive an email notification.) The sooner we receive your information, the longer it will be available on the conference platform! Sponsorship starts at $1,000. From there, you can choose from a variety of sponsorship levels or “Add-Ons” to meet your budget and enhance your marketing message. See the list below.

As always, we’re delighted to work with you to develop a sponsorship package that meets your needs. Just contact Carlos Salgado at csalgado@archivists.org to get started!

    Advertising on the Conference Website

    All eyes are on the conference website once the program goes live on April 15. Prospective attendees review it to determine whether they’ll attend the conference and to register. Speakers set up their profiles. Registrants return to the website again and again to see what’s been added to the program – and to create their own schedules. Your ad will run on each page of the conference website, with a link to your company website or your 2017 Virtual Expo listing – you choose! (Please note that your ad will rotate with other ads.) This marketing opportunity is limited to companies that exhibit at ARCHIVES 2017.

    Louis Armstrong said it: “Preservation Hall, now that’s where you’ll find all the greats!”

    In 2013, “Preservation Hall” shifts to the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, where you’ll have access to the year’s largest audience of archives, records, and IT professionals who are eager to learn about your products and services, ask questions, and provide their perspectives. “Preservation Hall” brings together—in one place and at one time—the purchasing decision makers at the national, state, and local levels. Take advantage of their great ideas—and share a few of your own!

    Join the Archives, Records, and Information Professions’ Decision Makers in Preservation Hall!

    “Building relationships is what this Expo is all about. When I make a purchasing decision for my organization, who I’m buying from is as important to me as what I’m buying. I just don’t have that same comfort level with a direct mail flyer or a telemarketing call.”

    Elizabeth Adkins, CA
    Director, Global Information Management, CSC

    “The SAA meeting is our best and most important conference of the year. It has the largest concentration of our customers and provides the best opportunity to meet new ones. We have made so many friends through the years and this conference always serves as a grand reunion!”

    Bob Henderson
    Hollinger Metal Edge Inc.
