Exhibitor Welcome Information

Today, it is imperative that companies invest their resources wisely, focus on future growth opportunities, and align themselves with smart and dynamic partners. Despite the impact of economic concerns on Wall Street and Main Street, Barnes & Noble College continues to see sales growth even as other retailers see their sales decline. Additionally, we continue to earn the trust and partnership of educational institutions and systems. This year we proudly welcomed over 30 new stores to our family including Rutgers, RIT, Rowen, University of Baltimore, the San Jacinto Community College system, and the University of Southern California School of Law.

Our resilience and growth is the result innovative marketing strategies, strong vendor partnerships, and our unparalleled knowledge of our key demographic, the American college student.

Our 24th annual Back-to-Campus Show will be held March 28th - 29th at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida. This event will bring together over 650 managers, buyers and home office personnel to discuss, review, and confirm orders with our select vendor partners. A critical extension of national sales strategies, these two days further allow Barnes & Noble College and their vendor partners to further build the relationships that are the foundation for our mutual success starting with 2012 Rush.
