Annual Conference > Exhibitor & Sponsor Info

Join us in November at the 3rd Annual QM Conference!

Thank you for your interest in participating as a sponsor/exhibitor at the 3rd Annual QM Conference, November 7-9 in Baltimore. This year, we anticipate attendance of approximately 425 individuals representing K-12 schools and post secondary institutions from 45 states and 4 countries. You can see the list of past companies and institutions and the titles of attendees in the prospectus.  We are excited to be adding K-12 to our quickly growing number of HE colleagues.  If your customer base is K-12, this would be a good ground-floor opportunity for your company.  If your customer base is post secondary institutions, this is a great opportunity to interface with them.

There are many options available for you to connect with both current and potential customers at the conference.
