380+ companies showcase products in Exhibit Hall
Conference attendees are urged to spend plenty of time at the Exhibition, where you’ll find every kind of product and service your schools might need—plus a bigger and better Health and Wellness Pavilion with loads of demonstrations and activities.
More than 380 companies and organizations are represented at the Exhibition, including 114 first-time exhibitors.
Hours are:
• Today: 8:30 to 11 a.m. and 12:30 to 4 p.m.
• Sunday: 9 to 11 a.m. and 12:30 to 4 p.m.
• Monday: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Health and Wellness Pavilion is at the rear of the Exhibit Hall. Sponsored by the American Heart Association, it showcases companies and groups focused on the best ways to keep children and adults healthy.
A new feature this year is the Marketplace, located at the rear of the Exhibit Hall next to the Exhibition of School Architecture. This section is the only place in the hall where you can purchase products to take home.
Music Main Street USA is back for the third year in a row. This section (aisle 300), includes companies and organizations that can help you strengthen your schools’ music and arts programs.
As you browse, play the Exhibit Exam Challenge. Test questions about exhibitors are in the Exhibit Addedum/ Health and Wellness Pavilion Guide. Visit exhibitors to get the answers, and drop off your completed game card in the raffle bin at the Health Pavilion.
Six prizes will be awarded, including a complementary registration for the 2009 conference, an airline ticket, and gift certificates. Winners will be announced at the pavilion at 1 p.m. Monday. You must be present to win.
