The Fall Forum is CES’s primary networking and professional development event, bringing together educators, parents, students, and leading thinkers in education to exchange ideas, ask questions, and share insights about effective school practices and designs. The conference will be held November 6-8 in Charlotte, NC. We expect around 2,000 teachers, administrators, district personnel, and other education professionals to attend.
Exhibiting at Fall Forum gives you significant exposure to conference attendees and allows you to cultivate relationships with schools and educators from all over the country. On our part, we stand to gain from learning more about your organization and the resources you bring to the work of improving schools.
Be advised that space is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-paid, first-served basis.
