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.
Rates

$40.00 per 100 inserts
For more information on advertising at the annual meeting, please see our meeting pages.
Exhibiting at the Annual Meeting
Each year a dozen or more 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.
Rates for exhibiting at the Annual Meeting:
- One Table:
$275.00 - Second Table:
$200.00 - Each Additional Table:
$185.00 - Collective Book Exhibit:
$40 / Title
Orders received after 31 August cost an additional $50.00.

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!
HSS Executive Director Jay Malone would be delighted to speak personally with you regarding receptions. Please call him at 352-392-1677 to discuss the opportunities. Groups like the Cambridge University Press and the University of Wisconsin Science Studies Program have sponsored coffee breaks and receptions in the past.
