Marketplace


Marketplace Information

One of the highlights of attending ALADN is the sharing of ideas and learning from our peers. ALADN encourages attendees to share and learn by participating in the Marketplace.

What is the Marketplace?

Marketplace is a designated space for conference goers to see, touch, and collect examples of marketing and communication materials provided by other conference goers.

This year’s Marketplace will include examples of materials in the following categories:

  • Acknowledgment Letters
  • Annual Fund Materials
  • Annual Reports
  • Capital Campaign Materials
  • Case Statements
  • Collections Materials
  • Friends of the Libraries
  • Holiday Cards
  • Library Public Relations Materials
  • Marketing Samples
  • Newsletters
  • Special Events (invitations, programs, etc.)
  • Stewardship Materials

Anything innovative you want to share!

Bring It With You! You can bring materials with you IF they are not being considered for an award.

Materials (except those to be considered for awards) can be accepted through 8:00 a.m., Monday April 20.

Please label each piece or group of items with the appropriate marketplace category from the list above in which it should be displayed. If you choose to enter any for consideration for a Marketplace Award, please see the separate instructions and form used to identify appropriate pieces.

Pick up any remaining materials by 11:30 am on Wednesday, April 22, 2014. Any materials left after this time will be recycled.

You may include shipping return supplies in your original shipment. These supplies will be held at the marketplace for you to box up your leftovers for return shipment.
