Bridge 2011 Exhibitor Opportunities

Join us at the 9th annual conference The Bridge from School to Afterschool and Back in Seattle, WA, on October 17 & 18, 2011.  It’s the only conference of its kind for administrators, educators, policy makers, principals and leaders concerned with the field of afterschool and youth development. The conference has gained national prominence and we expect to have more than 600 attendees from across the United States, including representatives from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawai’i, Montana and Idaho.

This is an excellent opportunity to build relationships with innovative afterschool and youth development professionals, as well as educators, policy makers, researchers, and funders. Our conference is attended primarily by afterschool and youth development program directors, many of whom have budgetary decision-making authority. They attend this conference seeking tools to reinvigorate their programs and are in a great position to invest in new resources, such as your services and/or products.

This is also a great conference for those who want to raise awareness among afterschool and youth development professionals about their organization and its work. In the past, this has been an excellent way for nonprofit organizations to disseminate important resources and information to the field and generate a high level of excitement with their presence at just one event.

Benefits to exhibiting at the Bridge Conference:

  • Gain maximum exposure with conference participants in our intimate exhibitor areas – positioned in main conference and workshop lobbies.
