The DEC conference is an excellent opportunity to grab the attention of teachers, administrators and other influential people in early childhood special education. Not only will you increase the recognition of your company or program, you will have unbeatable opportunities to promote books, equipment, toys and other resources to an audience of 1,100 to 1,300 people who need to know about you.
