UTCH provides an opportunity for exhibitors and others to apply to advertise in our convention welcome bags, which are distributed to our convention attendee families. We will be assembling 350 bags for the 2024 UTCH Convention. If you wish to participate in the welcome bags, submit an application and a sample for review, pay the appropriate fee, and provide 350 copies of your insert item(s).

A small promotional item is a bookmark, business card, pen, magnet, postcard, etc. Single-page flyers or brochures may be double sided. Multi-page inserts must be stapled together or secured so that they may be easily picked up individually. All items must be 8.5"x11 or smaller.

Fees are per lot of 350 of the same item. You may choose to include more than one insert if desired.

A sample of each welcome bag insert must be reviewed.

Please submit one sample of each item you would like to have inserted in the welcome bag ASAP after submitting your application. You do not need to wait to be invoiced before sending your sample.

The UTCH Convention Program is a quality, full-color magazine for convention attendees to use for notetaking during the weekend and to reference following the event. Advertising in the convention program is an effective way to let attendees know about your business, product, service, or organization.

The opportunity to advertise in the convention program is open to registered exhibitors as well as non-exhibitors who fit UTCH’s mission and criteria. Exhibitors may add a program advertisement to your exhibitor registration to be paid on the same invoice.

NOTE: There are a limited number of full-page ads available. Requests for full-page ads will be approved prior to invoicing.

Ad Contract & Payment Deadline:

Ad Copy Submission Deadline:

If you're unable to attend convention in person, this is a great option to make sure your product is still seen by attendees! Send us product samples and literature, and we will arrange and maintain a display of your materials.

This option comes with an 8-ft covered and skirted table in the exhibit hall. We will also hang your banner behind your table so all attendees can clearly see it.

Product samples

Catalogs or brochures

Disposable banner & hangars

We recommend offering a “Convention Special” (send flyer to place on your table) to encourage attendees to make purchases in a timely manner!

Please send only what will fit well on an 8-ft table. We can store extra brochures under the table, and add them as needed. UTCH will arrange your display table and periodically check to keep it stocked with literature. These tables will be prominently placed on a first come, first serve basis.

Display products will be raffled to attendees at the end of the convention.

You will save an enormous amount of time, effort, and expense, and your displayed materials will still draw attention to your company and your products at the conference!

Display tables will be listed in the convention program and on our website. $115 covers the cost of the Display Table; handling of your materials; arranging your display; maintenance of your display throughout the conference; and raffle. Just select this option and ship your products to us. We’ll handle the rest!

If you sell full curriculum sets, we would suggest that you send at least one elementary grade kit and one high school grade kit for attendees to see.
