WHy Exhibit?
In 2022, we will convene in Rosemont, Illinois, for the first in-person ILA Annual Conference in over two years. This year’s theme — At the Heart of It — focuses on what brings us together and how we can remove barriers to collaboration. Held at the Stephens Convention Center, October 18-20, the conference is your best opportunity to reach libraries of all types across the state.
Illinois has one of the most extensive systems of libraries in the country; more than 3,800 libraries are located in the state. This year’s conference will be the third-largest state library exposition in the nation — and the largest in the Midwest — representing librarians from the state’s public, academic, school, and special libraries. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to reach decision-makers from across the state.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Reach beyond your exhibit booth and bring your company to the attention of the Illinois library community. Becoming an Illinois Library Association Annual Conference sponsor represents an extraordinary opportunity to complement your company’s marketing plan.
Sponsorship is a high-impact, high-profile marketing technique, which drives influential professionals to your booth. Sponsorship creates awareness of your company's presence at the conference, builds your image, and generates traffic for your booth. With an exclusive investment, your company name will be synonymous with the event of your choosing. Multiple opportunities can be combined to give your company a higher level of benefits.

HOTEL RESERVATION WARNING
Exhibitors, please be advised that there have been occurrences of illegitimate, fraudulent “housing services” vendors contacting exhibiting companies, claiming to be approved by ILA, and offering to reserve your rooms “as they are in short supply”.
Housing will be available - TBA.
- The official ILA 2022 Housing Bureau is coming soon. Should any other company contact you claiming to be working on ILA 2022' behalf, please ignore their solicitation and forward the email or information to ILA@corcexpo.com so that we may work as a team to stop these solicitations.
- Please note that these “poaching” housing companies generally require full prepayment for all rooms reserved, with no recourse for changes, cancellations, etc. ILA is not able to assist on-site with any challenges incurred from booking with one of these fraudulent organizations.
- Remember, the only ILA 2022 preferred vendors are those that will be included in our exhibitor service manual.
