Sponsors and Exhibitors

Thank you for your interest in sponsor and exhibitor opportunities for the 2018 CRLA Annual Conference. You can learn more about the opportunities available in our 2018 Sponsor and Exhibitor Prospectus.

The CRLA Annual Conference is the perfect place to meet hundreds of higher education professionals in the fields of reading, learning assistance, developmental education, tutoring, and mentoring. Our conference attendees are looking for products and services that will help them serve their students, and we provide ample opportunities to network with them at the conference including an Exhibitor's reception, Exhibitor's Breakfast, and breaks in the Exhibit Hall.

Local Vendor Opportunities

For our 51st Annual Conference, we are inviting vendors from the Albuquerque area to join us in our exhibit area in the Westin on Friday, October 26, 2018, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. We are seeking local vendors and artists with unique products that will give our attendees an opportunity to bring a piece of Albuquerque home with them to display, use, or wear. We will supply a 6 foot table and two chairs, and displays must be table top only.

The cost of a booth is $50, and we ask that you donate one item to our annual raffle to raise funds for scholarships to attend the conference and other professional development opportunities.

Please fill out the Vendor Registration Form (Coming Soon) to register.
