The exhibitor hall is a highlight for many attendees. You can meet vendors who demonstrate how their products boost student engagement while remaining financially manageable for your district. Many also offer free trials or discounts, letting you test out new software or devices without committing to large expenses. It’s a great chance to discover options you might not otherwise encounter, and to connect directly with experts who can offer guidance and personalized suggestions.
