      Be an exhibitor at this year’s CLM Annual Conference on June 2!

      Join us as an exhibitor at our Annual Conference at Central Connecticut State University. This year's theme "Reinvention and Resilience in Uncertain Times" will attract over 200+ museum professionals from across Connecticut and the region. It's a great way to get the word out about your organization, business, or services to Connecticut's largest annual gathering of museum people.

      We offer a Marketplace Passport that encourages attendees to stop by as many booths as possible to get their passport initialed by exhibitors. Completed passports are entered in our chance drawing to win exciting prizes at the end of the day! If your organization would like to donate a prize for the chance drawing, email director@clho.org.

      Exhibitor registration comes with the following:

      • One table and two chairs
      • One complimentary conference registration
      • Listing in the conference program
      • Acknowledgment on the conference website

      If your booth will need a power source, please note that in your registration, as we have limited outlets in the space.

      Exhibit tables come with several of our conference sponsorship packages, so be sure to check those out if you're interested in additional ways to get the word out about your services.

      Questions? Email director@clho.org for information and assistance.
