We are in some sense or other present at a large number of academic conferences around the world, big and small. We either have representatives in associations like the Library of Social Sciences or include advertising materials with conference packs or display posters, flyers or simply our books. Efficiently maximising our exposure to and presence in the academic community is our primary objective in the case of our attendance of such events, rather than the direct increase in sales.
Among the various ways in which we have tended to contribute to conferences apart from presence are included:
Direct cash contribution;
Taking on organisational expenses;
The printing of posters;
The printing of programs, badges, etc;
A list of some of our forthcoming program with Library of Social Sciences can be found here:
