Convention and Conference Advertising Opportunities

IRA conventions and conferences offer you a major opportunity to reach the most sought-after market in the educational field—again and again—with several advertising options.

Annual convention

Generate increased visibility at the 2009 convention when IRA presents two events in two different locations—Phoenix, Arizona in February and Minneapolis, Minnesota in May. Each convention will have its own set of publications tailored to its program.

Convention previews: Mailed to all members prior to each convention, these journal-sized publications promise maximum impact through high-end design, broad circulation, and high pass-along rates.

Convention programs: Distributed on site at convention. The publication no attendee can do without, with ad pages, value-added coupons, and tab pages to entice customers to your booth.

Convention Highlights: The daily tabloid that connects you with customers during the convention. Three issues at each event offer plenty of opportunities to advertise your products, services, show promotions, and booth activities.

Online exhibitor listing: Add information about your company, your logo, and a link to your website to our online listing of convention exhibitors. You’ll benefit from the thousands of visitors IRA’s website receives each day. Download information and order form.
