Marketing Opportunities
Companies, organizations, and colleges/universities looking
to reach industry professionals should consider USITT's
range of promotional opportunities.
An organizational
membership gets your name out and provides
access to our mailing list. Display and/or
classified advertising in
our publications raises awareness of your product, program,
or service. Sponsorship
opportunities provide
exposure to attendees at the Annual Conference & Stage
Expo and other highly visible events. Whatever your marketing
needs, we have the right tools to meet them.
