Invitation to Exhibit....
New in 2009
21st Century Classroom ~ A model classroom environment with the latest vendor products
Sponsorships ~ More opportunities for attention and focus while supporting the success of ITSC
A key component of the ITSC program is access to quality resources and software, which are integral to successfully integrating technology in the curriculum. Exhibiting at ITSC will give you access to key decisionmakers and their supporting teams. The goal of this working conference is to share, develop and discuss strategies for effective technology integration. More than 500 administrators, teachers, media specialists, technology coordinators and other educators are expected to participate in this unique conference.
Exhibiting Fee
ITSC is busting at the seams. To accommodate more participants and exhibitors we are expanding the exhibit space to include the lobbies of Mt. Hood, St. Helens and the Gardens. View the booth floorplans. These additional locations are high traffic areas where there is coffee service, breakfast and some appetizers. In addition we are putting together Exhibitor Bingo to encourage participants to visit your booth, and this will enter them in for prizes.
The early-bird registration fee to exhibit at ITSC is $500.00 by December 1, 2008, after that it is $600.00, depending on location of the booth. Spaces are limited and booth assignments are on a first-come, first-serve basis when registering. Full payment for exhibits are due no late than February 1, 2009. We provide free wireless connectivity. If you require wired connectivity there is a $150 fee.
