Targeted and Engaged Audience
Approximately 1,800 - 2,100 science educators and preservice
science teachers, from all grade levels and science
disciplines, K-University. They teach life science,
earth science, physical science, environmental science,
marine science, integrated science, and interdisciplinary
studies. Many of the attendees are leaders at their
schools and in their districts. Many make purchasing
decisions or have influence in the purchasing process.
If you have a new product or service for science teachers,
this is an excellent time to get feedback, in person,
from your target audience.
Teachers attending the conference are always excited to visit the exhibit hall. They recognize the exhibit hall as the once-a-year opportunity that it is for them to meet with representatives from the companies they buy products from to ask questions and get answers. They enjoy learning about new products for their classrooms, buying supplies and books, shopping for fun and quirky science-themed gifts, clothing, and jewelry.
Exhibit Hall Hours Designed to Give Attendees Time to Visit
Exclusive exhibit hall hours on Friday, November 30, 11:10 am - 12:30 pm and Saturday, December 1, 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm (approximately six Short Courses of limited attendance sessions conflict with this time, est. 100 people)
Coordinated Door Prize Drawings
CSTA conducts a coordinated, must be present to win,
door prize drawing on Saturday, December 1, 1:30 pm
- 3:00 pm. Exhibitors provide the prizes and the names
of the winners selected from visitors to their booth.
CSTA then collects the names of the winners and announces
them on the exhibit hall paging system. Prize winners
then go to the exhibitor's booth to claim their prize.
This way exhibitors are sure that their prize will go
to someone that actually visited their booth during
the show and prize winners have the opportunity to thank
the exhibitor in person.
Opportunity to Present a Commercial Workshop
Commercial Workshop proposals will be accepted in late May 2018.
Discounts on Advertising in Registration Brochure

Exhibitors who also place ads in the registration brochure
and/or the program book receive discounted advertising
rates. Visit the Marketing Opportunities page for more details.
