Engage Your Target Audience at Our Trade Show
The IASB Annual Convention and Trade Show is the premier event of the year for governance teams from Iowa public schools. You’re invited to join us on Nov. 16 and 17 as we deliver powerful learning
sessions and a state-of-the-art trade show that provides education leaders with critical resources.
As a provider of school services and supplies, our Trade Show is your best opportunity to meet these education leaders. For 77 years,
the Annual Convention and Trade Show has drawn school board members and school administrators to Des Moines each fall. In 2021, nearly 1,000 Iowa education leaders from 271 school districts, all nine area education agencies and one community college attended the Annual Convention and Trade Show.

Reasons to Exhibit at the 2022 Trade Show
“Every
year I attend the IASB trade show, I walk away with a renewed sense of
how wonderful Iowa schools are and how passionate the attendees are for
their communities, teachers, and students. It’s a great way to connect
and support Iowa schools.” —Kari K. Uhlenkamp, AIA, LEED BD+C
“We
have been part of the IASB Trade Show for more than 20 years. This has
been a great way for us to touch base with past clients and make
connections with new clients. We look forward to the member-vendor
social each year—a notable addition to an already great Trade Show.” —Tracy Kollis, Engineering Design Associates, Inc.
“Our
company has been serving Iowa schools since the early 1980s. Our first

decision makers, learn about their challenges, and discuss solutions.” —Corey Atkinson, Software Unlimited, Inc.
