Exhibits

Prepare to be dazzled, wowed and enticed by this year’s ANC Exhibit Hall! Considered the biggest and best in school nutrition, the Exhibit Hall will feature more than 800 booths showcasing the products, services and equipment that will improve the success of your school nutrition operation. Exhibit hours do not conflict with education sessions, maximizing your opportunity to peruse the booths and network with exhibitors.

SNA is now accepting applications for culinary demonstrations at ANC 2009 in Las Vegas! Each one-hour demo takes place during exhibit hours and allows chefs to show attendees how to prepare recipes for school nutrition operations. Demos typically include 2-4 recipes related by a common ingredient or theme selected by the company and approved by SNA. Applications including all proposed recipes are due by February 13, 2009. All applications will be reviewed and the final demonstrations will be selected by March 13, 2009. For more information about the demos, download the application below. If you have any questions, contact Crystal Harper-Pierre, SNA’s Exhibits Management Specialist, at (703) 739-3900, ext. 140, or charper@schoolnutrition.org.
