Exhibit with us

Over the last 43 years, the annual Closing The Gap Conference has become known as the best educational assistive technology conference in North America.

It’s the first AT conference of the school year, where exhibitors have the opportunity to connect with high-level, influential, decision-makers at the beginning of school funding and budget cycles. Last year we welcomed 1,000 attendees from 47 states and 7 countries.
