The Tennessee School Boards Association annual convention gathers education leaders and

management teams from across the state to give you a target audience. The tradeshow is an

integral part of TSBAs convention and exhibiting companies are publicized prior to and during

the convention.

The TSBA Annual Convention and Tradeshow is the largest and best venue for any organizatio

that wants to market to K-12 public education in Tennessee. Most school board members cant

meet with vendors on a daily basis. Our event brings you together with these inuential buying

teams for two busy days of networking.
