Book Exhibit
MESA’s 60th Anniversary Annual Meeting will be held November 21-24, 2026, and we invite you to be a part of the MESA 2026 Book Exhibit. The MESA Annual Meeting continues to be the largest annual gathering of scholars and students in Middle East studies, and this year we have special events planned to mark MESA’s milestone of turning 60.
The Book Exhibit will be held on the Mezzanine level in two halls located near each other and on the same floor as MESA registration. We offer spacious 8’x10’ and 9’x9’ booths along with a limited number of tabletop displays for non-profit organizations.
Booth assignments begin May 27, 2026
Gold sponsors are given top priority for booth placement. Following those assignments, a lottery will be held for those who have submitted the Booth Reservation Form by 9:00 am (Eastern) May 27, 2026. For this reason, MESA does not guarantee your top choices. Booth reservations received after this date will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Following the lottery, please check the online floorplan for booth availability. MESA reserves the right to make changes to the floor plan if necessary.
The Book Exhibit will open to attendees and the public at 3:00 pm on Saturday, November 21; exhibitors will set their booths that morning. The exhibit hours are:
The Book Exhibit will also be the location of coffee breaks held between sessions. Consider being a coffee break sponsor to bring more attention your organization. Learn more about our sponsorhsip opportunities, including our tiered gold, silver and bronze levels, here.
