You are invited to exhibit at the Minnesota English Learner Education Conference, a partnership between MinneTESOL and the Minnesota Department of Education. This year’s MELEd Conference will be held at the Saint Paul RiverCentre.

You are invited to participate on Friday, November 19 and Saturday, November 20.

We estimate that over 1,000 participants from Minnesota and surrounding states will attend this year’s conference. The participants come from all areas of ESL, Bilingual and Migrant Education. Members of our organization teach in early learning, elementary, middle school, secondary, college, and adult programs. In addition to instructors, conference attendees include students preparing to teach, paraprofessionals, volunteers, refugee service providers, administrators and teacher educators.

Your company or organization is invited to participate in several ways:

1. Send a representative to the conference by reserving exhibit table(s)

2. Secure one of more of our 2021 ADVERTISING OPTIONS

3. Present in a conference session (proposals due in June)

We welcome your active participation as we host Minnesota’s ESL, Bilingual and Migrant Education teachers at this excellent conference! This is a great time to increase your company’s involvement in our annual conference.

As always, we have set aside time in the program for conference attendees to visit your exhibits. The exhibit area for the general conference at the Saint Paul RiverCentre is a wide, well-lit, comfortable area. Please plan for HIGH traffic from conference attendees in this large and welcoming space.
