2023 SPONSOR & EXHIBITOR INFORMATION

For more than 100 years, The Stained Glass Association of America's annual summer conference has served a vital role in the industry, bringing together artists and studios from across the country to exchange ideas and perspectives. This year's national conference marks our 120th anniversary and our continuing partnership with the Society of American Mosaic Artists.  By partnering with SAMA’s 20-year legacy of inspiring, educating, and promoting excellence in mosaic arts, SGAA and SAMA are setting the stage for an expansion of opportunity for artists, historians, manufacturers, architects, designers, and preservationists in both membership communities.  

We have refined our opportunities for 2023 to help you increase visibility before, during, and after the conference through placement in the conference program book, promotional materials, the SGAA and SAMA websites, and advertisements in the Stained Glass quarterly magazine, which has drastically expanded its distribution thanks to our partnership with the mosaic community.

The 2023 Vendor Marketplace will be the heartbeat of the conference with manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and specialty artist service providers coming together to connect, network, and inspire the anticipated 350-400 conference attendees.  Sponsors can engage with attendees at a 6’ networking table (single 6’ table with 2 chairs) or in fully dressed 10’ x10’ pipe and draped booths (2-6’ tables with 2 chairs each).
