Adapt, Survive, and Thrive: Unleashing the Superpowers Within
The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) invites your company to exhibit at the 2010 NAIS Annual Conference, February 25 - February 26, 2010, at the Moscone Convention Center West, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Join NAIS for the largest annual gathering of independent school attendees, which will be held in San Francisco this year, as we explore this year’s conference theme Adapt, Survive, and Thrive: Unleashing the Superpowers Within.
Exhibitors are an important part of the Annual Conference and we hope to make exhibiting with us a productive and enjoyable experience for you and your company. In the Exhibit Hall, we will offer meals, special events, the NAIS Member Resource Booth, and prize drawings. In addition, the Exhibit Hall will host the Cyber Café, activities, receptions, and the NAIS Bookstore to keep attendees moving through the hall.
