Why Exhibit at FETC?

Start Ahead. Stay Ahead.

FETC isn’t just your first shot—it’s your best one. Held in January, FETC gives you first-mover access to decision-makers when K–12 budgets are still open and plans are still forming. While other events like ISTE arrive after much of the funding is committed, FETC puts your brand in front of high-intent buyers exactly when it counts.

Strategic Timing, Maximum Impact

Start the year strong. FETC aligns with school budget planning cycles, giving you unmatched access to high-intent buyers when they’re ready to act. While others are still planning, you’re already converting.

Decision-Maker-Rich Audience

FETC delivers a curated audience of superintendents, CTOs, principals, curriculum directors, and more. District teams attend as buying units, so your conversations lead to real decisions—not just handshakes.

Expo That Converts

With 9,200+ attendees and 449 exhibitors, the FETC Expo Hall is balanced, navigable, and designed for meaningful engagement. 85% of attendees spend 3+ hours in the Expo, and exhibitors report an average of 150 qualified leads.
