The 2025 AIA/SCS Joint Annual Meeting will take place January 2-5 at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. Each year over forty companies exhibit and the showroom floor is always expanding to welcome new international and domestic exhibitors and attendees. We welcome book, software/technology, outdoor gear, archaeological supply, travel, job placement, and finance companies as well as educational institutes, field schools, funding and non-profit agencies. Additionally, we seek artisans related to the classics/archaeology and local destination crafts and goods. This year’s conference will be primarily in-person, but will also feature several hybrid tracks as well as a small number of virtual events.
The Exhibitor Prospectus is now available. The Prospectus has full details on exhibiting as well as the exhibit space and advertising reservation forms.
