Conference Advertising, Sponsorship and Exhibits
NASSS Annual Conference
Hilton Tampa Downtown
Tampa Bay, Florida, USA, November 2 - 5, 2016
Thank you for your interest in advertising, sponsoring and/or exhibiting at the
Annual Conference of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport to be held November 2-5 at the
Hilton Tampa Downtown.
The
NASSS Annual Conference is an ideal venue for publishers and college
and university programs to promote their products and services to North
America’s largest annual gathering of sport sociologists.
In 2015, NASSS drew more than 300 attendees from over a dozen countries when the conference was hosted in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Our conference routinely hosts more than 300 attendees.
In addition to sport sociologists, NASSS attracts researchers,
teachers, and students from the fields of sport studies, management,
history, psychology, cultural studies, sociology
and anthropology. The conference is thus an ideal means of promoting books, journals, films,
and other materials for classroom adoption and library purchase.
Advertising and sponsoring events in the conference program book and
at the conference are also ideal ways to promote academic programs, fellowships, grants, and job opportunities.
The deadline for receipt of advertisements, sponsorship opportunities and exhibit space reservations is
October 1, 2016. Reservations are made using the Advertiser / Sponsorship / Exhibitor Reservation Form. All reservations must be accompanied by full payment in the form of a U.S. dollar check or money order made out to NASSS.
Do not hesitate to contact Maureen Smith, the Conference Director, at:
smithmm@csus.edu if you have any questions.
Advertising in the Program
The NASSS program is distributed as part of the registration fee to
conference attendees. The program includes details of conference
sessions, maps of the hotel, and announcements about special events. It
is a constant resource to NASSS members not only at
the annual meeting but also throughout the year. NASSS members peruse
the advertising section in the program for current information on
publications in their areas of interest, to create shopping lists for
the book exhibit, and to identify programs and grants
for which they may be eligible.
