2008 OU Clarinet Symposium

INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS

Each year, the University of Oklahoma Clarinet Symposium invites music retailers to display their products at our event. Our display room is one of the most important features of the Symposium for all who attend. We average 25 displays and place them in two rooms, thus affording ample space and visibility.

Norman is a city of approximately 100,000 residents, which is located roughly twenty-five miles from Oklahoma City airport. There are many reasonably priced hotels here as well as many excellent moderately priced restaurants. The Symposium provides a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and this is the reason why participants return year after year.
