**WE ARE SOLD OUT FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL CONFERENCE
As a leader in the distance learning industry, we welcome and invite your participation as either an Exhibitor or Sponsor for the 2024-2025 year’s calendar. National conference attendees include professionals from K-12, higher and continuing education, and corporate, government and military training, as well as from the telehealth and distance learning consultant organizations.
Why should I become a USDLA sponsor?
By Exhibiting or Sponsoring at the 2024 37th USDLA National Conference you have the opportunity to get your name in front of attendees and interact in many of our activities throughout the Conference. These include a raffle where attendees can only enter after visiting with each exhibitor. Monday evening will be our cocktail hour social. In addition, you are invited to a night on the town Tuesday evening for a round-table dinner with attendees. Other events include some off-site excursions to the National Blues Museum and City Museum Tour as well as our International Distance Learning Awards celebration.
Our Exhibitor Showcase is limited, so please contact us today!
