Spotlight on Our Vendors
For an enjoyable and productive experience at the ARLIS/NA conference,
schedule some time to wander through the vendor’s exhibit tables - take in
the colorful new publications, thrill at the inventive artists’ books, and
experiment with the latest software. Here I have listed my top ten reasons
to visit our vendors. I’m sure I’ve missed some, so please add your own
reasons by commenting on the conference blog
(http://artlisnaindy.wordpress.com).
If you are an ARLIS/NA conference newby - don’t despair! Whether you are new
to ARLIS/NA or if you have not had a chance in the past to meet our vendors,
you can sign up to be matched with a member who will tour the Exhibitor’s
Hall with you, and personally introduce you to our exhibitors. We are also
looking for experienced members that know and interact with our vendors
regularly, who wish to be guides to the Exhibitors Hall. You can sign up for
the program here: Meet the Exhibitors Program Form
