Welcome Vendors

The Association of Personal Historians is pleased to invite interested individuals, organizations and companies to participate in its fourteenth annual conference October 29–November 2, 2008, at the Sheraton Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah. Approximately 300 personal historians are expected to attend. Of particular interest to these specialized entrepreneurs are the products and activities available during the Town Square event.

What is Town Square & How Can I Participate?

Vendors at APH Conference 2007

Our annual Town Square event is a unique exhibit highlighting products and tools utilized in the personal history business. This year, the exhibit space will be open from 1:00-5:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 1, in the All Seasons Ballroom. In addition to the vendors’ displays, a section of the ballroom will be devoted to Speed Coaching—a mentoring activity for novice personal historians.

The emphasis will be on vendors’ tables, which will be set up in a central area. This venue offers vendors a perfect opportunity to demonstrate materials and services that personal historians need in their work throughout the year. APH looks forward to working with you, so please don’t delay registering. We’d hate to see you miss this chance to learn more about our great organization and meet potential new clients.

Vendor tables cost $50 each for APH members and $100 each for nonmembers, with an additional charge of $25 if you need an electrical hookup. Wireless Internet connections will be available for vendors at a cost of $100 each. Hard-wired Internet connections can be provided at a rate of $300 each if requested in advance of the conference.

To reserve vendor tables… Please fill out the Online Conference Registration form and check the appropriate boxes in the Vendor Table Reservation section.

Note: APH members will enjoy an opportunity to display and share their products with each other during a regional event on Thursday evening, Oct. 30. See the Highlights: Regions Tables for more details.
