Why Exhibit or Sponsor?

ASSEC attracts hundreds of classroom teachers, special education teachers, administrators, parents, health care professionals, and specialists whose work revolves around the educations and well-being of children and adults with disabilities. The 2024 conference drew over 375 participants from across Alaska.

The format of the conference includes three main days of conference workshops (February 3 - 5, 2025) with two days of pre-conference credit courses before the main conference begins. Exhibitor hours will occur only on the main three days of the conference.
