California State PTA is pleased to present the Exhibitor Prospectus for the 120th Annual Convention in Monterey, California.

CONVENTION DATES: MAY 16 – 18, 2019 EXHIBITS OPEN: MAY 16 – 17, 2019

The California State PTA Annual Convention offers you an opportunity to engage with PTA leaders, members and supporters from throughout our state. Our participants look forward to the opportunity to see the best in programs, products and services.

Our convention attendees represent children in preschools, elementary, middle and high schools. They value the opportunity to see, meet and network with providers who will help them accomplish their 2019-20 goals.

This is going to be an engaging, informative and fun convention, filled with all the things our participants love – including a dynamic exhibit hall! Additional opportunities are available through our sponsorship program. (See Page 6 for more information.)

Note: This year’s convention is in a smaller space than conventions in the past, so there are fewer booths available.

The exhibitor registration process opens February 15, 2019 online at www.capta.org/convention.

Thank you, and we’ll see you in Monterey!

Sincerely,

California State PTA
