The Program for the Annual Meeting

The Program reaches the 600 to 1,000+ attendees at our annual meeting. Your ad in the program also offers an excellent way to remind historians of science to visit your table if you’re exhibiting at our meeting.

To view details about rates and deadlines for the next meeting, please visit the publishers section in the meeting page.

Inserts in Delegate Packets

Inserts are a popular way of informing meeting attendees about new publications, organization membership offers, or services of value to historians of science. You provide the inserts, and for very reasonable rates we’ll include them in the registration packets attendees receive.

To view details about rates and deadlines for the next meeting, please visit the publishers section in the meeting page.

Exhibiting at the Annual Meeting

Each year publishers sell thousands of dollars of books during our annual meeting. Whether you’ve got one table or ten, our annual meeting is the place to display your new titles in history and the sciences. We schedule regular coffee breaks in the exhibit hall to ensure high visibility. It’s a great chance to talk with professors before they choose titles for their classes.

If you don’t have a table worth of books, we also offer a collective book exhibit.You send us a copy of the book(s), and we’ll set up an attractive display with other titles that may attract perspective buyers. We also provide an HSS meeting staff member to supervise and answer questions.

To view details about rates and deadlines for the next meeting, please visit the publishers section in the meeting page here.

For more information on Exhibiting at the Annual Meeting, please see our meeting pages.

Sponsoring a Reception or Coffee Break

Sponsoring a reception or coffee break connects your name to our delegates at their most receptive moment–while they’re eating and relaxed!

Please contact the HSS Executive Office for any questions regarding coffee break sponsorships and/or receptions. Please contact the office via e-mail at: info@hssonline.org.
