VENDOR/SPONSOR INFORMATION

It has been six years since these three associations gathered for a summer convention and the 2010 gathering of Arkansas Press Association, Mississippi Press Association and Tennessee Press Association promises to be like none other. This event will be held June 23-26 at Harrah’s Mid-South Convention Center in Tunica, Miss. This is a wonderful opportunity to reach 400+ newspaper decision-makers in the Mid-South. We invite you to be part of this special occasion. The sooner you reserve your table or sponsorship, the sooner we can start promoting you. We hope to hear from you soon!

Sponsorships are available in the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Vendor levels and include a table in the Trade Show. If you are interested in being a sponsor or vendor of the 2010 Tri-State Press Convention, please click this link for the information in PDF form or contact Terri Cobb or Ashley Wimberley at Arkansas Press Association at (501) 374-1500.
