 Dear Publishers and Exhibitors,

Welcome to ITBE! 
 
We are thrilled that the ITBE 41st Annual State Convention is drawing near on February 27-28, 2015.  We are also delighted to partner with Chicago Marriott Naperville, 1801 N. Naper Blvd, Naperville, IL (next to Harvest Bible Chapel on Diehl/I-88) as our convention venue this year and also in 2016-2017. There are a variety of products and services that will be showcased by our friends in the publishing, business, and education fields.  We look forward to meeting the representatives and welcome them to the convention.
 
Just an update, the online registration deadline to purchase exhibits tables and demo sessions at the convention is now closed, as we are already at capacity for this year.
 
However, we encourage you to advertise in our online newsletter, ITBE Link, and exhibit at our Spring workshop in late April.  Details on the workshop will be forthcoming. These marketing venues will allow you to reach over a thousand ESL/Bilingual educators and volunteers who work at all educational levels - pre-Kindergarten, elementary, secondary, university and adult education. These ESL professionals are constantly looking for new and innovative products and resources to enhance or improve their various teaching contexts.  ITBE is the largest regional affiliate of the larger organization, TESOL International (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).  Your partnership with us will connect you with personnel in this fast growing educational field, both in the United States and globally.


Please consult the Publishers’ page on our website, to view:
  • Exhibit rates for the workshop event
  • Exhibit and copy deadlines
  • Costs for advertising and for the membership list
In an effort to streamline exhibits and advertising orders, ITBE now requires exhibitors and participants to use our online ordering and registration system. You will be able to select the event, number of tables, as well as order your A/V equipment and advertising space.  Payment options include credit card (through PayPal) or check.  You may either order all the exhibit space you need at one time, or complete multiple orders as needed. If you order advertising space, I will follow up with you regarding how to submit your ads. 

Your participation in our events also shows your customers that you support them, their profession and their professional association.  Any monetary, product or service contributions from exhibitors and advertisers will be publicly acknowledged in the convention program, on the hotel's electronic signage, and in our session announcements. We value their partnership and presence at our events.
 
If you are interested in any of the above marketing opportunities, please contact me at ads-exhibits@itbe.org or at 630-947-6657 (mobile). I look forward to hearing from and partnering with you.

Sincerely,
 
Marie Friesema
Assistant Director of Exhibits and Publishing
