Association of University Presses Sponsorship Opportunities
About the AUPresses 2023 Virtual Annual Meeting
The Association of University Presses is pleased to announce a plethora of sponsorship opportunities for our upcoming Annual Meeting—a flagship event for the scholarly publishing community.
As part of its commitment to equity, justice, inclusion, and belonging, AUPresses has adopted a schedule for its Annual Meeting that alternates yearly between an in-person event and a virtual one. Following on a successful in-person meeting in Washington, DC in June 2022, AUPresses 2023 will be virtual.
AUPresses 2023 will convene over two weeks in June—the weeks of June 5 and June 12—for a dynamic program featuring educational sessions, service demos, networking events, and more.
