MEET OUR 2020 SPONSORS
EBMA was thrilled to have seven sponsors participating at the 2020 Annual Meeting! Sponsors are service providers supporting publishers with specific products and services that enhance and improve reading for children. Sponsors participate in the one-on-one sessions so that publishers have built-in appointments to meet with sponsors to discuss services. You can learn more about each of this past year's sponsors below.
