BOOK EXHIBIT ASSISTANTS NEEDED FOR
CONFERENCES IN BOSTON, WASHINGTON, DC & OAKLAND/SAN FRANCISCO

APRIL 6-9, 2010

LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE is considered the premiere firm in the United States organizing book exhibits for scholarly conferences. Please see: http://www.libraryofsocialscience.com/organizers.html

Our on-site exhibits are managed by creative, experienced staff members (often two people per meeting). However, in 2010, four of our conferences fall on the same dates (see our schedule for early April directly below). We seek individuals located in each of the above cities for each of these meetings—to assist in managing the book exhibits.

PLEASE CONTACT Hugh Galford at 718-393-1104 or email HGalford@LibraryofSocialScience.com to apply for these positions.

BENEFITS/REMUNERATION INCLUDE:

  1. Accommodations: stay in a $300+ hotel room each night.

  2. Free attendance at the conference (attend sessions when the traffic at the book exhibit is slow).

  3. Books at the end of the meeting.

We seek enthusiastic, energetic people with some business experience. The job will involve helping to set up the book exhibit—as well as selling books to attendees and writing up orders during the conference. The job is not difficult, but at times (especially between sessions) is intense.

If you think you are suitable and qualified for any of these positions (or know someone who is), please have them contact me ASAP at 718-393-1104 or send an e-mail to HGalford@libraryofsocialscience.com.

If you are a faculty member and know of someone—a graduate student, staff member, or anyone else—who would like to help (and attend the conference), please have him or her contact us.

Thanks very much.


With best regards,
Hugh Galford
