Potential Exhibitors

Would your product or service benefit our schools? If so, consider exhibiting at PNAIS events. Several conferences throughout the year incorporate exhibit halls and provide a great opportunity to connect with PNAIS members face-to-face. In addition, there are several event and keynote sponsorship opportunities as well. Annual Corporate Sponsors receive dramatic reductions in rates for exhibiting and sponsoring events. Please visit the PNAIS Corporate Sponsor page for more information.
