Exhibitor Meeting Space: Exhibitors have an opportunity to give an informal presentation to SLA attendees during a food and beverage event. The cost is $950 that includes 1 ½ hour time slot, a private room, podium, microphone and signage. Your event will be advertised in the INFO-EXPO Guide.

Strategic Technology Alliance Series: This is a formal meeting that includes 1 ½ hour time slot, Internet, LCD panel and screen, podium, microphone and signage for $1650.
