DISTRICT-WIDE PARTICIPATION IN EXPO'10: EXHIBITORS & VISITORS

EXHIBIT AT THE EXPO: In addition to conference attendance we encourage your district to participate in CELF's 5th annual Students for a Sustainable Future EXPO by creating and hosting an engaging BOOTH highlighting your district-wide or school-wide efforts, and/or showcasing one or more model programs. See EXHIBITOR INFORMATION, above right, for details and to register.

As in the past, individual classrooms or afterschool programs are encouraged to participate with an engaging display of their classroom sustainability projects or efforts. Space is limited and submissions must demonstrate an understanding of sustainability concepts. Exhibits must be hosted by students throughout the EXPO program (supervision required for school exhibitors).

VISITOR THE EXPO: Seize the opportunity to speak to with experts on a wide variety of sustainability topics! Exhibitors from businesses and organizations across industries will offer invaluable advice and resources for your classes, schools and communities. Spread the word and sign up at a discounted group rate.

EXHIBITORS & VISITORS: REGISTER NOW ONLINE, then proceed to pay online or download and mail in a registration form with your payment.

NOTE: EXPO'10 does not have specified Field Trip arrival time slots. Pre-registered schools/visitors may arrive at anytime during the EXPO Hours and may stay for all or part of the EXPO hours, 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
