Most of the vendors said they were pleased with the numbers of conference goers who stopped by to learn about their products and services. That's GOOD news. Vendors are an extremely important part of any successful conference. We want to ensure that they feel that participation in the VLA Annual Conference is a worthwhile and rewarding experience. There are any number of ways that VLA members can thank exhibitors for their participation.
Some vendors contribute above and beyond a booth purchase.
We can and should try to thank them for their extra support. DRA helped support the cost of the box lunches in the Exhibit Hall on Thursday. I hope you each thanked them. Advertisers in the Conference Program included Gaylord, Mid Atlantic Bookbindery, and Capcon. Such advertisements also help support our Conference.
