A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS AND TRADE SHOW OPERATIONS

A hearty congratulations to the 650+ exhibitors that represented over 135 organizations at the 2023 Ohio Music Education Association Trade Show in Columbus at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

These organizations gave their time, talent, and energy to participate and stage their organizations in our return to normalcy!

I truly appreciate our Corporate and Institution Partners in making this year a strong return to the support we have had previously. Forty-Six (46) sponsors came forward this year to support OMEA. In addition, the Strike-A-Chord Golf Outing, helped us obtain needed scholarships for our All-State Participants.

Partnerships, Donations and Participation at the Annual Trade Show help OMEA to maintain their strength in the Nation as one of the largest Conferences and Trade Shows. OMEA provides support for the 1.7 million music students that we support in the State of Ohio.

The fabric of our association relies upon the willingness, commitment, and encouragement of all who have chosen to support music in so many ways. The Ohio Music Education Association is truly appreciative of the many individuals and organizations that know, and understand the importance of music, and the necessity to intensely promote music education on all fronts. Once again, a big “THANK YOU” to our exhibitors, partners, sponsors, associate members, and friends that make the Ohio Music Education Association one of the very finest music organizations in the Nation.

Please reach out if we can support you or your organization in any way!

Respectfully,

Bill Wittman, Director of Business and Trade Show Operations business_director@omea-ohio.org
