Marketplace
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 Marketplace. To add that excitement, for the second year, we will have a Marketplace Awards Program with competition in a variety of categories.
What is the Marketplace?
Marketplace is a designated space for conference goers to see, touch, and collect examples of print and multi-media 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!
