      Trade Show Exhibitors - Register

      The ACA is hosting its 45th Annual Conference at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC with formal conference sessions taking place June 11th to 13th, 2020.   The premiere event for archivists in Canada, our 2020 conference theme is 2020 Visions: Seeing Archives Differently. This year, we are expecting strong participation with at least 350 delegates and guests from across Canada and internationally including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. 

      If your products or services are valuable to the practising archivist, we encourage you to consider participating either as an exhibitor at the trade show or an activity sponsor (see Sponsorship Opportunities).  Archivists are consumers of consulting and architectural services, records management services and materials, electronic records management software, digital imaging and micrographics, conservation and preservation supplies.
