Booth Staffing and Conference Attendance
When selecting members of your staff to attend the conference and staff your exhibit booth keep in mind that conference attendees are more senior-level technology decision-makers and they look forward to meeting upper-level K-12 management from exhibiting organizations. The exhibit hall is closed during sessions so that exhibiting staff members can attend the sessions and gain valuable information to assist them with their product development and services. In addition, due to the high quality of presentations attendees want to attend as many sessions as possible. Therefore, in order to help attendees maximize their time in the exhibit hall, exhibitors may want to provide the opportunity for attendees to schedule brief appointments during the exhibit hall hours. This may also appeal to the typically more senior-level technology decision-makers that this conference attracts.
