The 2013 Minnesota Homeschoolers’ Alliance Annual Conference is going to be a great place for homeschool vendors and exhibitors! Not only is the conference being held once again at the state-of-the-art Schwan Center with a beautiful and open exhibitor spaces but this year the conference schedule is changing to better serve both vendors and attendees.
Are you a homeschool parent that also runs a business related to homeschooling? Are you associated with an organization that offers classes or tours to homeschool groups? Do you know someone that would benefit from sharing their product or service with the homeschool community? Join other educators, organizations and businesses during this annual event and take advantage of the opportunity to present and market directly to the Minnesota homeschool community.
The NEW Schedule!
7-8 am Vendor set-up
8-9 am Registration and BROWSING
9-10 am Workshop (during this time vendors will be offered complimentary coffee/breakfast as we noticed that last year it was difficult to take advantage of that while trying to set-up)
10 am-1 pm Vendor Exhibits
11 am-12 noon Meet-ups (rooms will be labeled for attendees who want to meet to discuss certain topics. This is informal and voluntary)
12 pm-1 pm Lunch (a buffet lunch will be served in the Banquet Hall adjacent to vendor area but we will not be having a keynote speech during this time so participants are still welcome to browse before, during or after lunch.)
1:15 pm-5 pm Workshops (At this point vendors will have the option of leaving. There will be 15 minute breaks between workshops and as always attendees may choose not to attend a workshop and socialize or shop so it will be up to the individual vendor whether they choose to stay.)
Features for exhibitors include:
• Highly visible Exhibitors Hall (adjacent to Banquet Area where buffet sit-down lunch, key note address, and lounge area will be hosted) as well as exhibitor tables placed strategically in high-traffic areas
• Loading and unloading area, complete with wide, garage-door access and complimentary carts for ease of set-up
• Ample parking
• Complimentary coffee and continental breakfast during exhibitor set-up
MHA will have exclusive use of the Schwan Center for this event!
