t’s all about the connections you make when
you exhibit at the School Nutrition Association’s
(SNA) 73rd Annual National Conference (ANC). Chris Burkhardt, SNS
Executive Director
So, we’re especially anxious to share the ANC Cleveland Metropolitan
2019 conference theme with you! “Meet ME in School District, OH
St. Louis” not only emphasizes the importance
of relationships and networking that is an ANC
hallmark, it also provides a compelling call to ac-
tion, as you invite school nutrition professionals to
“meet you” at your booth in the Exhibit Hall.
At the largest annual gathering of K-12 school
foodservice professionals, you’ll discover untapped
business opportunities and increase your compa-
ny’s visibility among more than 3,500 decision-
makers. And with a new, streamlined two-day
Exhibit Hall schedule (you asked, we listened!),
you will make the most of your valuable time
“ There is no other industry
conference that guarantees access
to so many decision-makers in
to interact at this singular event. Plus, at ANC,
you’ll network off the Exhibit Hall floor, since you school nutrition. To not exhibit
receive a full-conference registration. would be a catastrophic fail to
Secure your spot in the ANC 2019 Exhibit Hall
and “meet” current and prospective customers,
your business.
