MSS Commons

Join us as we greet our 600+ attendees in the MSS Commons!

Commons tables are available to publishers, graduate schools, non-profits and more. A Commons table is a 6-8' table with two chairs. We hope this creates a warm, open and welcoming area for exhibitors to interact with meeting attendees. The Commons area this year will be in an "open air" space near the registration desk and gathering areas. Tables themselves will not be secure after Commons hours, but you are welcome to work with us to secure materials if needed.

Each reservation for a Commons Table also includes a 1/2-page ad in the MSS Program book. If you would like to upgrade to a full-page ad, please be sure to select this option in your reservation for an additional fee.

We would like to purchase an advertisement in the program book.

Great! Meeting attendees reference the program book throughout the conference as well as bring it home for future reference.  This is another way in which you can showcase your organization beyond the immediate conference itself.  For those groups or organizations unable to staff a booth, an advertisement provides excellent exposure. Please provide all advertisements in black and white format.

Ad sizes:  
  • Full page, trim size=6 7/8 in wide x 10 in high, with ½ in margins 
  • Half page, trim size=6 7/8 in wide x 5 in high, with ½ in margins

Ad rates for non-exhibitors:

  • Full page = $525
  • Half page = $300

Please complete the online reservation form by February 15 if you want to place an ad. The PDF or .jpg copy must be received by Jennifer Talarico ([email protected]) no later than February 15.

Are other sponsorship and advertising opportunities available at the Annual Meeting?

Yes! The MSS has many opportunities to sponsor food, beverages, and technology throughout the meeting. Sponsors will be recognized in the Commons area as well as in the conference program book, MSS app, and online. A few opportunities include:

  • Beverages at the Welcome Reception
  • Ice-cream social (sponsor a specific ice cream flavor or the entire event!)
  • Snacks or coffee in the Commons
  • Charging stations throughout the event
  • ...other opportunities can be discussed for your best fit!

Please complete the online reservation form, noting your interest in sponsorship, or contact Jennifer Talarico, MSS Executive Director ([email protected]) for sponsorship details and price information. Sponsorships are limited and must be secured by February 15.
