What is the conference fee to participate?

There is a fee of $35 per conference participant.  Participating schools and districts or billed directly and provided with an invoice once participants have been confirmed via conference registration.

How can I sign up to be a vendor or exhibitor?

Online exhibitor registration opens in early December, providing participating exhibitors plenty of advance notice and time to make arrangements to be involved. The college/career fair will be one of the sessions that students will be required to attend.  Our goal is not only to provide them with information, but also for them to meet role models and to hear from YOU regarding what they need to do in order to be competitive in the work world.

The conference schedule is from 8:00am-4:00pm, however the sessions (including the fair) will run from 10am-2:00pm with a lunch break in between.  Your $300 registration fee will cover lunch for two representatives.  You may purchase additional lunches for $8 each. The income we generate from these fees will be used to cover conference expenses and will also go towards our scholarship fund.
