Literacy for All

Rhode Island Convention Center, Providence, R.I. Dear Exhibitor,

The Literacy for All Conference is the Northeast region’s leading professional development event for educators in grades PreK–8. At the 2014 conference, there were over 1,300 attendees. Participants represented 23 states and 300+ school districts, as well as international schools in Bermuda, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

This November 15–17, 2015, more than 1,300 educators will gather in Providence for the 26th annual event. Exhibiting at the event or supporting it through sponsorships are wonderful ways to access a diverse network of possible consumers, and align your company with the region’s leading literacy conference. Exhibit dates are November 15–17, 2015.

Exhibits will be located in the pre-function space on the 5th floor of the Rhode Island Convention Center — right outside the workshop rooms where there is heavy foot traffic.
