This alignment with cultural and educational missions can enhance an Exhibitor’s image as a socially responsible business.

RAFFLE PRIZES
Click to learn more.
Exhibitors at the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ATALM) conference can participate in the raffle drawing by donating prizes. This participation is a strategic opportunity for exhibitors to enhance their visibility and engagement with conference attendees.
Here is how it works:
- Up to 20 exhibitors donate raffle prizes with a minimum value of $200. ATALM reserves the right to decline prices that do not hold strong appeal.
- A list or prizes is included in the program book and on signage at the conference.
- Attendees receive a packet of 10 raffle tickets in their name badges. Attendees choose which prizes they wish to enter.
- Participating exhibitors are provided with a clear fishbowl to collect the tickets.
- Prizes are awarded on the last day of the conference.
Here’s how exhibitors can get involved and what they gain from participating in the raffle drawing:
- Donation of Prizes: Items should ideally be relevant to the attendees’ interests and professional needs, such as cultural artifacts, specialized software, books, or even services like training sessions or consultations. All prizes must have a minimum value of $200.
- Increased Visibility: By donating a prize, exhibitors can increase their visibility among the conference participants. As the prizes are announced, the exhibitor’s name and contribution are highlighted, providing them with additional exposure.
- Enhanced Engagement: The excitement of the raffle can draw more attendees to an exhibitor’s booth, particularly if the prize is attractive or unique. This increased foot traffic can lead to more interactions and potentially more business leads.
- Goodwill: Contributing to the raffle demonstrates the exhibitor’s commitment to the community and the conference’s goals. This goodwill can foster stronger relationships with current and potential clients who value community support and engagement.

Advance Freight must arrive no later than November 1 to avoid late freight handling surcharges. Advance Freight can be received up to November 7th, for an additional fee. Information on shipping can be found on page two of the Exhibitor Kit. Outbound shipping procedures information is available on page 16 of the Exhibitor Kit.
