Advertise!
Advertising is an effective way to place your organization's message in front of the thousands of attendees and other NATS members who are considering attending the conference in the months leading up to the event, at the event, and even after it concludes!
From print advertising in the conference program book, to competition and recital covers, to sponsored e-mail promotions, to insertions of flyers and other promotional materials that are placed in the hands of every attendee - NATS has you covered!

Program Book
The conference Program Book is distributed to all conference attendees and features comprehensive information about the who, what, when, where, how and why. It features a detailed schedule, presenter information, sessions descriptions, sponsor locations and details, maps of the hotel layout, award winners, competition details, and so much more! Having a presence in the program book is important for exhibitors or any advertiser wishing to reach the more than 1,000 attendees and students who will be attending the conference. Choose between a standard full page or a premium full page, which gets preferred placement near the front of the publication and schedule.
Artwork Specifications: Submit camera-ready files (TIF, JPG, PDF or EPS) at 100% of completed ad size in 300dpi CMYK. Full page ads that will print to the edge of the page should allow 1/8” bleed around all four sides. Artwork supplied without bleed will be sized to fill the 7-1/2”x10” ad space.
Deadlines: Reservation deadline is April 15, 2016; Artwork submission deadline is April 15, 2016.
