WHY EXHIBIT?
    We welcome you to join us in the Exhibit Hall for the 2022
    Illinois Music Education Conference. We have enjoyed a sold-

    2021, we are all incredibly excited to see you in 2022. Reserve
    your spot today! We appreciate all that our annual exhibitors
    do and cannot wait to welcome new exhibitors into our halls.

    We will again be offering the many amenities for our exhibi-
    tors that set the IMEC apart from all others:
    •     Dedicated Exhibit Time
          The Gala Opening Night Reception on Thursday starts the
          show with dedicated exhibit time with complimentary re-
          freshments. Conflict-free exhibit hours continue with time set
          aside on Friday and Saturday.
    •     Conference Badges & Refreshments
          Each company receives one complimentary parking pass
          and each booth purchased receives four complimentary con-
          ference badges. Also, the popular “Exhibitors Only” compli-
          mentary strolling coffee and refreshment carts will be back.
