WHY DO YOU ATTEND
THE BOOST CONFERENCE?
The BOOST
conference is a great value for me as a corporate partner. By
meeting and mixing with leaders and innovators in out-of-school-time roles, I
gain a greater understanding of how my company's free offerings and
signature programs can best serve schools and school districts, as well
as nonprofit organizations that work with school age children.

The BOOST Conference is pure dynamite - it's one conference where
dynamic, enthusiasm abounds. The workshop selection is fabulous. The
trade show is a great resource. The keynotes and speakers are truly top
notch. Networking opportunities abound and wherever you go, the mood is
upbeat and mutually supportive. All this in beautiful, pool-side Palm Springs.
What's not to love about the BOOST
Conference? I attend conferences for a living, and believe me you
will love this one - it's my absolute favorite.

BOOST is a high
energy, well organized conference that consistently features the highest
quality presenters
and exhibitors. For the past several years, as a presenter and exhibitor, BOOST
has been our most successful and rewarding conference each year. We can't wait
for this year!

Personally and
Professionally: BOOST provides me with an opportunity to "Step Out" of the day
to day operations of my work and think about it from a global perspective:
remind myself of the vision, goals and outcomes we hope to achieve with our
stakeholders. I come back refreshed and "full" of new ideas to implement
or discuss with my team for the future!

First I want to
say how honored Yvonne and I were to present at last year's conference - The
hope inspiration and commitment among participants was more than evident - IT
WAS INFECTIOUS! Great work in creating a powerful, fun and impactful
event! We are excited to see you again this year!

Hands down, the
most innovative, inspiring, and resourceful after-school conference in the
business. You will thank yourself over and over again for making the trip
to beautiful Palm Springs.
The energy is unmatched, the contacts are priceless, and both you and your
program(s) will be "forever-changed" because of it!

I attend the
BOOST Conference because it's the only place that I can network with other
actual providers who operate complex after school programs that make a
difference!

As a participant
you experience high quality workshops, high quality inspirational and
informative speakers, effective networking, and great entertainment. As
an exhibitor you can tell the conference organizers have planned very
effectively to allow the time and motivation for participants to interact with
exhibitors. As a presenter you can expect a well-planned, balanced set of
conference offerings that will facilitate desired attendance. The
knowledge, motivation, and rejuvenation that results from BOOST conference is
unparalleled. The BOOST Conference is certainly one of the best after school
professional development opportunities available to the field.

Coordinator
California Afterschool Network
The BOOST
conference is one of the best conferences I have ever been to. My staff came
back to work very excited to implement the ideas and strategies they learned. I
had the great privilege to meet and network with many great leaders from up and
down the State of California
and nationally. I highly recommend the BOOST conference to anyone interested in
learning more about after-school programming and/or administration. Just a quality conference all around.

As an exhibitor
we have always enjoyed the BOOST conference. There is a steady flow of prospective customers without too much
of the dead time. The atmosphere is relaxed
and you are able to spend one on one time with attendees. We launched our
business a month before last year's BOOST show and it definitely helped get our
name out in the marketplace and generated much needed start up sales.
