welcome Dear Exhibitors, We are excited to offer premium sponsorship opportunities for our 2022 GMEA In-Service Conference! Our sponsorship program includes a variety of options and tiers, designed for you to gain maximum brand exposure, attract new relationships, and generate increased interest and traffic towards your exhibit hall booth. Our GMEA Conference is the largest of its kind in the state, as music educators from across Georgia come together for three days of networking and professional learning. Georgia music educators are VERY excited for our 2022 conference, where we will reconnect and recharge after a year of little face-to-face interaction. We realize the pandemic has affected businesses very differently. If you are in the position to consider our sponsorship program, we encourage you to consider this opportunity to demonstrate your support and commitment to music education in Georgia. Music education in Georgia would not be possible without the combined efforts of our many business partners, including music stores, repair technicians, travel agents, fundraising companies, sheet music distributors, software developers, non-profit organizations, and more. We are grateful for your ongoing support of music education. See you in Athens!
Dr. Matt Koperniak GMEA PRESIDENT

coffee booths Without a doubt, when working in education, good quality coffee is a vital component of the day and a staple for teachers and students alike. At the annual GMEA conference we offer local Jittery Joe's coffee, a selection of teas, etc. throughout the day on Friday and Saturday for attendees to enjoy. These kiosks are hosted in the Exhibit Hall and are a fantastic marketing opportunity. Take advantage of this space to lead people to YOUR business!
