Expo Show

The Expo is an integral part of your conference experience! This is your opportunity to see the newest trends in the marketplace and network with vendors and other professionals. Whatever you need, you’ll be sure to find it at this year’s Expo. More than 200 vendors from across the US and Canada will display everything from playground structures to park maintenance equipment to master planning for parks and programs and everything in between. Expo personnel talk with your peers daily and can offer suggestions and solutions tried elsewhere to help resolve your most difficult problems. This is the largest one-stop shopping extravaganza for park and recreation professionals on the west of the Mississippi River in 2008!
