Exhibitors

We intend to draw 350-400 decision-makers from school districts all over the country. At most conferences we've hosted, over 75% are superintendents, program directors or principals in their districts/schools. You will have a captive audience!

We have these features just for exhibitors:

  • A special exhibitor open house that will be scheduled at the same time as the pre-conference networking reception.
  • A modified schedule, so that exhibitors will be on-site for Wednesday night and Thursday all day, with a departure time at 2 p.m. on Friday.
  • A great conference location very close to O'Hare International Airport -- easy loading/unloading area.
  • Exhibitors will be located on the same floor as the ballroom... where all attendees will be eating lunch and listening to the keynote speaker. Some breakouts are on the same floor. Your company will have great visibility.

 

Exhibit Hours

  • Setup each day: 7 a.m.
  • Exhibit move in: Anytime after 3 p.m. on November 3.
  • Wednesday night networking and Exhibitor Open House: 6-7 p.m.
  • Thursday: 8:00 a.m. - 5 p.m.
  • Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 2 p.m.

  • A second or third representative from your company may attend for $100 each.
