CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
46th ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Virtual Conference: May 30 – June 3, 2022
BOOK EXHIBIT and ADVERTISEMENT
CALL FOR REGISTRATION
The Caribbean Studies Association (CSA) invites publishers to exhibit books published in French, Spanish, Dutch, English, and creole languages at the “mini virtual book fair” for the 46th annual meeting, to be held virtually, between the 30th of May to the 3rd of June 2022. This call is addressed to publishers and any other companies whose services encompass the Greater Caribbean to advertise books during the conference and/or advertise products and services on the Caribbean Studies Association website.
A large cross-section of approximately 450 of the association’s 1000-plus members look forward every year to the opportunity to visit the Book Exhibit space on the conference site and interact with publishers. This is where we find out what new publications in our fields reflect our interests, select books for course adoption and for our research, and get the chance to interact with the publishers and authors in person. We appreciate your commitment to continue publishing books in or about the Caribbean region.
Given the multilingual and interdisciplinary nature of our Association, the annual Book Exhibit also presents CSA members (including scholars, academics, artists, activists, practitioners, writers, and allied professionals) with a grand opportunity to browse and purchase books outside of their specific disciplines and languages. In this regard, we especially welcome, and therefore encourage, the registration and participation of publishers from non-English speaking countries or publishers with books in Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and in any of the Creole languages representative of our greater Caribbean.
We look forward to your participation in this virtual mini-fair as a contribution to the rich scholarly and linguistic diversity present across the Caribbean.
ADVERTISING WITH US ON THE CSA WEBSITE
We encourage you to consider subscribing to any of our virtual advertising options for your publisher, company, or organization during CSA 2022. We offer a range of choices at several price points depending on your needs. Please, see the table below for more information.
Note that Advertisement payments should be made directly through the CSA website only after you receive an official CSA invoice, which will be issued upon your request.
We encourage you to begin the process of making arrangements with our association to exhibit your books and other material now. However, the following deadlines and information should be noted and observed:
- Payment for virtual advertisement must be finalized before April 30, 2022.
- Accompanying artwork/images and weblinks to be included on our website must also be submitted by email to CSA2022bookexhibit@gmail.com before April 30, 2022, with the technical specifications detailed below.
This is a terrific opportunity to share recent publications with book lovers for five days. In order to display your books, you are not required to be registered for the conference. However, we do encourage publishers to also consider registering for the conference as this would allow you to attend virtual panels during the entire conference week. We also hope that you will participate in our Author Celebration sessions and the closing ceremony during which we will announce the recipient of the Gordon K. Lewis Award.
