Where will your conferences be held? I would love to be able to attend.

thanks Tim

I'm new to this and just getting used to all this PTO talk. Thanks for clearing all the Conference jargon up. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi Cindy -

For PTO Today, we're going to have 3 difft types of events for this coming school year.

In the fall, we're going to host several morning-only or evening-only events (2.5 - 3 hours). These will be content-only, hitting mainly the high notes. Great content and a good chunk of sharing. No break-outs. No exhibitors. Price = likely $10, $15 or $20.

We'll also have our larger full-day Conference & Trade Shows in the spring. These are much larger. Keynotes, breakout sessions, lunch, newtorking sessions, and a full exhibit hall. We've been hosting these to rave reviews for 5 years now. Price tag here ranges from $35-$55.

Finally, this spring we'll debut our first large Vendor-Only extravaganza. More like a Home Show or a Boat Show. Heavy on the exhibitors (100+), some activities and fun and prizes -- but little/none in the way of content. Price tag likely $5 or $10 per ticket.

Hope that helps.

Whats the difference between all the different conferences? What kind of info is given at each particular one? What are the range of fees also?
I was on the National PTA board and it looks like there will be a leadership conf in my area in September but I wanted to know the difference from the others. Thanks for any info!!!!
