The Catholic Book Publishers Association (CBPA) and the National Catholic Educational Exhibitors Association (NCEE) — have published a booklet, How To Survive Being Your Conference Exhibit Coordinator, to help you . . . and us. You will find ninety percent of your task outlined right here.

As you may have deduced by the names of our groups, we have attended conferences a time or two. What we have learned is that organizing the exhibits for a conference or convention is mostly a matter of . . . well . . . being organized.

There’s that, and then there are the many, many questions about many, many details that someone — YOU —have to answer. Not to worry, though! Usually, it is not too hard finding the answers to the questions. Too

often, it can be frustrating not knowing what questions you should be asking and what questions others are going to be asking you.
