exhibit areas
The Exhibit Area for the NEW, expanded portion of our conference will be located in Paradise Ballroom A. Exhibitors will benefit from this location as many of the Elementary/K12 sessions will take place in the same ballroom.
The MMEA Conference Main Exhibit Area is located in Windgate Hall at the Tan-Tar-A Conference Center. This location is a great benifit to our attendees as they can literally be the exhibit area one minute, and in a concert or clinic session a few minutes later.
This is also a benefit to our exhibitors as there is ample face time with our attendees throughout the conference.
