The Commons reimagines the traditional exhibit hall as an immersive, four-zone experience designed to drive meaningful engagement between exhibitors and attendees.
Where attendees spark new ideas on stage, gather with exhibitors who solve real problems, refuel between sessions, and unwind with games that break down every professional barrier.
Every sponsorship includes digital integration through the official conference app, giving you real-time data on how attendees interact with your brand.
Attendees come to The Commons because they want to, not because they have to walk through it.
The Commons is open for 15 hours across the conference. Exhibitors get a full day of engagement, not a 2-hour window.
Beverages, relaxation, and games keep attendees physically present around Connect Stations all day.
App-powered Passport program captures real-time engagement data and delivers qualified leads.
The AWSP/WASA Summer Conference brings together approximately 1,000 school leaders from across Washington State. These are the people who shape policy, choose curriculum, approve purchases, and lead the districts and buildings where your products and services make an impact.
This is not a general educator conference. The attendee profile skews heavily toward decision-makers and budget-holders, giving exhibitors direct access to the people who can say yes.
A live stage experience unlike anything at a traditional conference. Attendees tune into thought-leadership presentations, product demos, and quick-fire sessions using a silent-headset format that means zero sound bleed, allowing Spark to run all day without disrupting the rest of The Commons.
A dedicated space for attendees to catch their breath and reset between sessions. Comfortable seating, recharging opportunities, and curated wellness experiences make Gather the place people come to when they need a moment of calm inside the energy of The Commons.
Refuel is the gravity well of The Commons. Monday morning breakfast for all attendees starts the day right here, and a curated coffee and beverage experience keeps people coming back between every session. Attendees linger near Connect Stations, and the all-day draw of Refuel is why people stay in The Commons.
Unwind is where professionals become people again. Games, competitions, and interactive experiences get energy flowing. Play breaks down barriers faster than any icebreaker, and organized activities throughout the day create the kind of buzz that keeps The Commons alive.
Each zone presenting sponsorship is exclusive to a single exhibitor.
