Kidlitcon is an annual (more or less) gathering of children's and YA book folk (authors, illustrators, reviewers, librarians, gatekeepers, parents, publishers and more), and we can promise two days full of great discussions and great friendships, with two keynote speakers and concurrent panels on a wide variety of book topics! There will also be food and drink and swag. The Kidlitcon organizers for 2019 are Mia Wenjen and me, and we are determined to make this the best Kidlitcon ever (which is a high bar).
Since we're still a bit more than a year out, registration isn't open yet, but you can start planning to come now! We welcome ideas for panels and expressions of interest (there's a poll at the website, to give us a sense of what people are most interested in talking about), and we've also started looking for sponsorships so that we can keep registration costs down and still break even.
Here are some sponsorship opportunities:
As soon as we have ticketing set up, you can select Sponsorship from the list
of options. Any amount over $50 will get you a side bar listing on our website,
a post on our facebook page, inclusion in the program and on signage at the
conference, recognition from the podium, and will be part of a coordinated
social media blast to the c. 300,000 folks reached by our team!
The following special
options are also available.
Food and beverage
sponsorships:
These sponsorships will
give you the listing and outreach above, plus an easel in the food and beverage
room displaying an advertisement/promotional image of your choice (that fits on
a standard conference easel) on display both days of the conference.

image for you at cost or you can mail it to us.
