Arisia Publications Advertising
Arisia is the largest fan-run science fiction convention in the Northeastern United States. Activities at Arisia cover all aspects of science fiction, fantasy and related interests, and this year we expect over 4500 attendees. as has been true for the past few years.
Arisia publications will reach an audience with diverse interests in books, arts, gaming, science and technology, films, TV, and other media, as well as related activities such as music and costuming. Most print ads appear in the Souvenir Book, rates below, a professionally offset-printed on white 60 lb. text stock with a glossy cover and both B&W and color pages.
Black-and-white (only) ads are also available in the Pocket Program, a 4" x 8" booklet also professionally offset-printed at the rates given below. Both the Souvenir Book and Pocket Program are given to all attendees with their memberships. Attendees tend to retain the Souvenir Book long-term and carry the Pocket Program with them during the convention.
For any questions and to reserve space, or if you would like to advertise in one of Arisia’s other publications such as the Restaurant Guide or the Family Friendly Guide, please contact us at @email.
