In August 2016, Atlanta will become the ARCHIVES and RECORDS capital of the world! You’ll have access to the year’s largest audience of archives, records, and information professionals who are eager to learn about your products and services, ask questions, and provide their perspectives. The ARCHIVES * RECORDS Expo brings together—in one place and at one time—the purchasing decision makers at the national, state, and local levels. Take advantage of their great ideas—and share a few of your own!
The ARCHIVES * RECORDS 2016 Expo is Your Best Opportunity All Year to Reach Your Target Audience!
Find your target audience among more than 2,000 archives, records, and information professionals representing government, universities, libraries, corporations, religious institutions, museums, and more.
You’ll have more opportunity than ever before to interact with your current and prospective customers as the feeding frenzy continues! Attendees will be drawn to the Hall for the Grand Opening Happy Hour on Thursday evening and three events on Friday: Morning Coffee Break, the All-Attendee Lunch, and the hour-long Last Chance Break.
The Council of State Archivists, comprising the individuals who serve as directors of the principal archival agencies in each state and territorial government, focuses on cooperation among the states to define and communicate archival and records concerns at the national level and to work with other national organizations to ensure that the nation’s documentary heritage is preserved and accessible. Founded in 1936 and representing more than 6,200 individual and institutional members, the Society of American Archivists is North America’s oldest and largest national archival professional association. Its mission is to inform, educate, and advocate for archives and archivists to ensure the identification, preservation, and use of records of enduring value.

Here’s your chance to increase your exposure and take your commitment to the next level! We're delighted to work with you to create a sponsorship opportunity that meets your company’s marketing goals and budget.
A Corporate Sponsorship offers major contributors a special opportunity for continued recognition before, during, and after the conference.
You’ll gain great visibility and have the chance to mingle with the profession’s thought leaders, supporters, and staff.
In these tough economic times, your company may prefer to sponsor individual events or take-away items that are sure to be memorable for conference attendees. We’re happy to work with you to develop a sponsorship package that meets your marketing goals and budget. Opportunities range from $3,000 to $25,000 – and may include the ever-popular mobile app and online schedule, charging stations, lanyards with your logo, Preliminary Schedule mailer, the SAA Research Forum, breaks, receptions, plenary AV support, special food event(s) in the Expo Hall, the All-Attendee Reception, transportation to the All-Attendee Reception, and other creative ideas.
