Sponsors
Promote your brand or business while helping us deliver a top-notch conference experience!
Sponsorship opportunities include events (like our Gala dinner, Master Classes or meals), items (such as totes or notebooks), display advertising (such as banners and window clings) at the conference, or sign on for general sponsorships.

Vendors
Chicago Spring Fling will offer two vendor rooms--one virtual (online) and one at the hotel--for individuals and companies that offer services of interest to authors. The vendor room at the hotel will be open to all conference attendees during specific times of the conference. The vendor room will be set up for networking and allowing attendees to hear about your services. Depending on how we can get the room set up and vendor interest, you will have half of a 6-foot table or one small hightop table. The cost to participate is $100.
The virtual vendor space will be accessible all day Friday. The cost to participate is $100.
The fee is $150 to participate in both the in-person and online vendor spaces.
Vendors will not have access to conference workshops, meals, or activities. If you would also like to attend the conference, you must register as an attendee.
