Exhibitors & Vendors

The California Geographical Society welcomes your organization’s participation in conjunction with the 79th Annual Meeting of the California Geographical Society to be held April 25-26, 2025 at Stanislaus State in Turlock, California. The CGS is the largest state geography organization in the United States and our conference is attended by 150-300 geography faculty and students from across California’s community colleges, CSU, and UC campuses. This event is a great opportunity for CSU and UC campuses to market their programs to community college students, undergraduates looking into grad programs, and faculty looking for jobs!

Exhibitors and vendors may select to table at the entryway to the Saturday presentations. Alternatively, we will have a dedicated session for participants to engage with vendors and exhibitors at our mid-day College Fair. 

Note about our Vendor/Exhibitor displays:  each vendor/exhibitor will be provided 1 table and 2 chairs.  Displays should be either freestanding floor booths or designed for use on a tabletop.  The CGS advises having a representative in attendance throughout the display period.
