CEDPA Plans 2000 Vendor Show
On November 16th, CEDPA opens the doors to the Conference 2000 Vendor Show. 10,000 square feet of exhibit space will house the leading K-12 vendors for products as diverse as administrative software and computer hardware. There will, of course, be the many familiar "faces" that CEDPA Members depend upon. Additionally, a number of companies new to CEDPA, and in some cases new to K-12, will present interesting new options for products and services. One reason these providers are attracted is the importance CEDPA places upon consumer/provider dialogue. The CEDPA Conference has for several years been the premier venue enabling budget holders and consumers to meet and mix with suppliers on a personal level. As before, this 40th CEDPA Conference will offer dedicated time for vendors and attendees to interact – no presentations or breakout sessions conflict with the Vendor Show. If you are new to CEDPA Conferences, you'll discover that consumer/provider dialogue is not limited to the exhibit space floor! In addition to presentations by your peers and other experts from the field, several vendors will share their expertise regarding a number of subjects in breakout sessions (see news regarding the Speaker Program), and will demonstrate technologies in the Network Operations Center (NOC). This is all to say that vendors both new and familiar to CEDPA are committing to bring sales, service and technical support personnel. But make no mistake – for many attendees, the traditional Thursday exhibit is for many the highlight of the Conference. If this describes your interest, you'll not be disappointed. Vendors already committed to the Conference include:
