“Steering the Future, Together”

Date: Thursday, July 27th and Friday, July 28th, 2017
Location: SUNY Polytechnic Institute, 100 Seymour Ave, Utica, NY 13502



The IDS Project is thrilled to welcome our vendor partners to the 2017 IDS Project Conference in the exploration of our conference theme: Steering the Future, Together. So many aspects of resource sharing are changing, and it is reassuring to know that our vendors are an intricate and active part of our futures as we move forward. This conference is a great opportunity for your companies to collaborate with libraries.

This year, the IDS Project conference is hosting dedicated vendor sessions, giving vendors an opportunity to demonstrate their products to librarians, library staff and administrators. Each 50 minute conference session requires a $1,000 sponsorship contribution, for a maximum of two sessions. Conference session slots can also be acquired through Lunch ($2,000) and Dinner($3,000) sponsorship, as well as IDS Project Sponsorship ($4,000). We encourage your participation through presentation and look forward to seeing your new products!

All meals and social gatherings, along with breakout sessions, will be in the SUNY Poly Student Center where vendor Exhibit Tables will be located and provided. Vendors with Exhibit Tables will also be right in the center of the Wine & Cheese Social, offering maximum exposure and opportunity to meet one-on-one with attendees.

Hours of Commitment: Thursday, July 27th (7:30am – 8:00pm); Friday, July 28th (7:30am – 12:00pm)
