Audience
The USETDA Conference is the national venue for ETD professionals from all areas: graduate schools, libraries, and information technology specialists. Our focus is on relevant and current issues with an emphasis on sharing practice-based resources from around the USA. Each year between 100 and 200 people attend the conference. We have numerous corporate and non-profit sponsors, including colleges and universities, institutional repository and archival system providers, digital technology applications companies, bookbinders and other library related services. Part of the conference includes an ETD technology fair, where vendors can set up exhibits and interact with our audience. Additionally, there are opportunities to participate in the conference during plenary and breakout sessions as well as through advertising and distribution of your promotional materials at the venue and online. We offer a variety of accommodations to suit your promotional needs.

Resources
Sponsorship contributions help support the ongoing administrative costs of the USETDA including operating expenses to host the current year’s conference, providing consistently low-cost conference registration rates for participants and providing seed funding for future conferences (without necessarily being tied to specific items or events). Please note that the USETDA fully funds all conferences so that host institutions do not have to assume any financial obligation.
