CASB Convention: your only best opportunity to reach the highest level of decision makers.
If you provide products or services to Colorado school districts, you
won't want to miss CASB's 68th Annual Convention, December 4-7, at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
This is your single best opportunity in 2008 to conduct demonstrations,
distribute information, develop effective links and establish new
markets for your business with more than 1,000 school board members and
superintendents—the key decision-makers in Colorado's 178 public school
districts.
Space Reservation Deadline has passed, but we still have booths available! Reserve your booth through the above link.
The Broadmoor Hotel reservations will be open on Oct. 6 at 9:00 a.m. through this Web site.
