Exhibitors are cordially invited
to participate in the 15th Annual International NAME
Conference. This year’s theme is Renewing
the Dream Through Multicultural Education: Sharing Power, Valuing
Culture, and Achieving Social Justice. The name
Conference is designed for teachers, administrators, community
activists, parents and others interested in advocating for multicultural
education and social justice. Since NAME is the only national
organization whose primary focus is multicultural education, hundreds of
educators and activists throughout the country attend our annual
conference each year.
This year the conference will be
held in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta on Peachtree
Street. The conference will begin on Wednesday, November 9 and conclude
on Sunday, November 13, 2005. The Exhibit Hall will open with a Grand
Reception on Wednesday evening from 8:30 pm to 10 pm. The Exhibit Hall
will be open daily on Thursday and Friday from 10 am to 6 pm and on
Saturday from 9 am to noon.

SPECIAL FEATURES FOR EXHIBITORS
For the 2005 NAME Conference,
all of the vendors will be located in the same room. Space will be
limited to first come and assigned in the order received, according to
your requirements. In general, the exhibitors that are using higher
backdrops will be located around the perimeter of the arena. Thus, upon
entering the Exhibit Hall, there should be a complete view of the entire
exhibit arena.
This year, we will have
special features within the Exhibit Hall to draw conference
participants into the hall on a regular basis. These will include
things such as:
-
Book signings – please let us know if you plan to
have any at your booth so that we can advertise them
-
A lounge area for the conference participants to
sit and visit with a view of the exhibits while relaxing
-
Conversation with the Author sessions throughout
the conference
-
Film Festival, and possibly a silent auction
