Exhibitor Information
From March 11 - 14, 2009 the National Association of Hispanic Publications will host the largest gathering of Hispanic print media in the United States. This year, our 24th Annual Convention & Expo will take place in McAllen, Texas at the McAllen Convention Center. We invite you to join us to network, to celebrate and grow your business relationships.
Over 170 member publications will be sending their owners, publishers, editors, circulation managers, journalists, salesmen and staff to network, share, learn, and participate in this special gathering of the Hispanic print media. Today NAHP member publications circulate approximately 10,000,000 copies each week reaching over half of the Hispanic households in the USA.
You’ll have access to the business managers and the key decision-makers from leading Hispanic publications. You’ll build relationships with editorial leaders whose coverage reaches Hispanic readers nationwide.
The latest research shows:
- Hispanics engage more with Hispanic publications than with any other major national media.
- Hispanic media consumers trust advertising and the information they receive in print media more than that in TV, radio or the Internet.
In short, Hispanic print media generate rich and powerful emotions that educate, provide a trusted environment to communicate ideas, connect socially, aspire and provide cultural relevance. This role carries over to advertising.
Exhibition booths in great locations are available now at the early bird special rate of $1,500 for this very special occasion. That’s a $495 savings off the regular rate! You can extend your visibility to our members through advertisement in our 2009 Convention Program Book for $2,250, a significant savings over the $3,450 if purchased separately. But that’s not all! You can extend your visibility year round with a page in our 2009 Membership Book. This three for one special offer of $3,450 secures your exhibit space and reserves your pages in the 2009 Conference Guide and the Membership Directory.
