DYNAMIC EXHIBIT HALL
If you’re looking for energy, you’ll find it in the convention exhibit hall! Our exhibitors love meeting with attendees to share how their products and resources can help teachers and students. And there are always plenty of opportunities to “play” and take part in product demonstrations.
The exhibit hall is also where you’ll find the SHAPE America Resource Center — your one-stop hub for the latest
SHAPE America apparel, merchandise and member resources. Be sure to stop by!
NETWORKING AND SOCIAL EVENTS
When the educational sessions are done for the day, it’s time for fun! The Opening Celebration on Wednesday evening and the Closing Celebration on Friday evening are open to all. You’ll love these opportunities to continue the conversations, enjoy some refreshments, and make new friends!
And back by popular request, we’ve added opportunities to socialize once sessions are done for the day on both Tuesday and Saturday — through add-on ticketed events for a few of the city’s popular attractions. This is a great way to experience a bit of Seattle with other convention attendees!
In 2023, #SHAPEseattle will be the place to be for health and physical educators. Take a look through the final program today and register if you haven’t already. Seattle awaits — and we hope to see you there!
