Exhibits & Vendors @ MASL 53

Michigan Association of School Librarians
53rd Annual Conference
The Kensington Hotel on State Street

3500 South State Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48108

October 28 - 30, 2026

Exhibits will only be on Thursday, October 29, 2026

We invite you to support effective school libraries in Michigan. For 53 years, we have championed educational transformation, information skills, and technology integration to benefit K-12 students across the state, using media, resources, books and more. We invite you to exhibit with us during the largest gathering of school librarians in Michigan.

Exhibitors can begin setting up Wednesday evening if you are there (after the pipe and drape are up). Pipe & drape installers are arriving at 4pm. As soon as they are finished with their set up, your booth will be available. We will have lots of volunteers to help carry boxes and help with other set up if you need it. I will be at the hotel (Klaudia). Your booth will be labeled with your company name. It should be easy to find.

Thursday, October 29 - Exhibits open at 10am - set up can begin at 8am

Exhibitor Showcase - 10:00am - 12:00 pm (exhibitor only time) With elementary and secondary rotating shifts.

Lunch 12:00 - 1:00pm (exhibitors can join us in ballroom or eat in booth)

Exhibits close - 4pm - tear down can begin at 4pm.

The cost of an exhibit booth is $500. This includes a standard booth space designated by pipe and drape, 6 ft. table, 2 chairs, wifi, carpeted hotel floor, access to electrical and lunch. If you are a non-profit organization, please reach out to me. kjanek@mimasl.org

Bring a stamp (with company logo), stickers or just sign your initials on the Bingo card. We will give our attendees a Bingo card with all the exhibitor booths on it in an effort to have everyone stop by to chat with you. It seemed to be pretty successful last year, so we will do it again this year.

BOOKING WEBSITE

Please book in our conference block because we need to meet a minimum number of rooms as stated in our contract. We are encouraging all or attendees, authors, vendors and presenters to do this. Conference room rate is $119 a night (Kings & Doubles).

I have exhibits scheduled in Grande Ballrooms 1. Hopefully it will remain this way 🙂

Loading will be from the front of the hotel. If you need help, we have lots of volunteers.

We are currently planning for 23 exhibitors.
