Two Hundred and Eighteenth Meeting

The 218th Meeting of the AOS will be held Friday, March 14—Monday, March 17, 2008, at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel, One West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601.

Publishers and vendors who plan to mount book exhibits at the Annual Meeting of the American Oriental Society may choose from two options:

1. Exhibit with Scholar's Choice, who runs the main combined book exhibit every year, and deal with them.

Or

2. Publishers and vendors may mount their own exhibits. In this case the cost for exhibit space is $250 per table (payable to the AOS in advance of the meeting). It is responsibility of the exhibitor to manage the exhibit, including setup, security, take-down, and removal of discarded materials. We also request that exhibitors follow our book exhibit tradition of selling exhibited books at the conclusion of the meeting to those in attendance for discount. We provide the exhibit space and equipment (tables, chairs, etc.).
