Dear Supporter of TSTA,

 

The Tennessee Science Teachers Association is having its annual Conference and Professional Development Institute on November 20-22, 2008, at the Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville. [http://www.sheratonmusiccity.com]. This year’s conference will be a joint conference with the Tennessee Academy of Science [http://www.mtsu.edu/~tnacadsc] which is composed of college and university professors, scientists, and other science professionals.

 

Please join us as we quickly approach 2009--The Year of Science, a national year-long celebration of science to engage the public in science and improve public understanding about the nature and processes of science.  Sessions and exhibits will provide Tennessee scientists and science educators from kindergarten through higher education with new ideas and research, new instructional strategies, new curriculum materials, new uses of technology, and information about changes in curriculum standards.

 

Commercial exhibits and workshops are always a highlight of the conference.  The opportunity exists for your company or organization to exhibit at our conference and to give a presentation in a session or workshop.  We also encourage vendors to participate as a sponsor/contributor of a conference event such as contributing toward the opening reception, door prizes, beverages in the exhibit area, the membership or registration costs of an educator, or by sponsoring the keynote speaker. 

 

Advertising in the conference program is another avenue that will bring participants to your company’s exhibit and provide contact in the future.  If an advertisement is desired, please send one copy-ready advertisement of the appropriate size (one page = 8 ½” x 11”).  The deadline for receiving ads is September 30, 2008.

 

Set-up in the Exhibit Area may begin at 3:00 PM on Thursday, November 20, and should be complete for the opening reception in the Exhibit Hall at 6:30 PM Thursday.  Exhibits should be open until 8:00 PM on Thursday, from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM on Friday except for 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM for lunch, and from 8:00 AM until 11:00 AM on Saturday, November 22.  Electrical outlets are included in the price of the exhibit space.  The deadline for obtaining exhibit space is October 20, 2008. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing you on November 20.

 

Sincerely,

 

Stan Peppenhorst
