MESA invites publishers, non-profit
organizations, and other interested companies and
organizations to participate in the
MESA 2005 Book Exhibit. By
a wonderful coincidence, MESA’s Annual Meeting and the
African Studies Association’s Annual Meeting overlap
by a couple of days. For this reason, we have extended
the exhibit hours by one day so that ASA attendees may also
visit the MESA Exhibit. MESA’s Exhibit is located in
Exhibit Hall C,
located by escalator from the main
floor. ASA’s exhibit space is located in
Exhibit Hall A.
Book Exhibit Space
(Click here to see
available booths.)
The Wardman Park Marriott Hotel offers
state-of-the-art meeting facilities.
The floor plan accommodates 100 booths, and includes a
cross-aisle for ease in getting from aisle to aisle. For Saturday’s overlap
of exhibits and meetings with ASA, there will be an
additional entrance/exit allowing access from Exhibit Hall C
to their meeting and exhibit areas.
