Exhibitors

Each year we invite publishers of Christian education materials to participate with us in the conference.  Several options for involvement are available. These are listed on the Exhibitor’s Contract Form. This is an outstanding way for publishers to get the word out about their resources and it helps us as professors keep up-to-date on what is available.
