You're Invited to Support the 2021 
Florida Library Association's Annual Conference.
Exhibit Tradeshow Prospectus
In-Person or Virtual

For the safety of our guests, FLA has decided to host a HYBRID 2021 Annual Conference!  For those attending in-person, FLA and Hilton are committed to enhanced levels of cleanliness, significant attendance limits and physical distancing meeting protocols as well as mandatory masks.  FLA acknowledges the Governor's recent executive order (21-81), prohibiting government and businesses from requiring proof of vaccination and/or proof of negative covid tests. To that end, we will no longer require proof of vaccination and/or negative covid tests as a requirement to attend FLA's 2021 Annual Conference. However, we firmly believe that the safety of our members, partners and guests should remain our highest priority and we will maintain our policy on mandatory masks and social distancing for the duration of the 2021 Annual Conference. A virtual option with live streaming and other engaging activities is available for attendees not able to travel.

FLA Mailing List Usage Policy:

List Usage Policy: Use of FLA's mailing list is for a one-time use within 30 days prior to conference and one-time use only within 30 days post our annual conference.  No retention or reproduction in any form is allowed.  FLA’s lists have systems to monitor improper use.  FLA retains the right to approve and review all materials to be distributed and its relevancy to the association and conference.  


Beware of Room Block Scammers

Please beware of anyone calling you to make hotel reservations.  Some companies are calling vendors and inaccurately representing themselves as our "housing vendor" trying to solicit business. Specifically, they will offer to make hotel reservations within the FLA block on your behalf and some will also mis-represent that they are calling from FLA or the Hilton hotel.

FLA is not utilizing the services of any housing service.

You should initiate all room reservations.  Reservations should be made directly with the hotel, either by phone: using the special rate code (FLA) or visit their website:


Thank you for your consideration of support!  

Please call the FLA office at 850-270-9205 with questions or to discuss the event in greater detail.  
We look forward to working with you.
