Dear Sustaining Industry Partner,
The Maryland School Nutrition Association invites you to discover the benefits of partnering with us for our 2024-2025 membership year. We are excited to offer many partnership opportunities including membership, advertising, exhibiting and sponsorships for our annual convention.
This year’s 2024 annual convention will be held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on October 25-26, 2024. The theme is “Bridging Bright Futures Through School Meals”. Please join us for this opportunity to inspire more than 350 school food service professionals across the state of Maryland, including county supervisors, directors and buyers, at one of the lowest state show booth prices across the country.
Based on exhibitor feedback, we have designated the first hour of the exhibits to Central Office Staff ONLY. These are the decision makers from around the state, and typically we have a very high attendance in this category. The next hour and forty-five minutes will be open to all, with the last hour including students from around the state to sample and give feedback on tested products.
Show hours will be Saturday, October 26th from 11:15 AM - 2:00 PM, Roland E. Powell Convention Center, 4001 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, Maryland 21842. Set up times are Friday, October 25th from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM and Saturday, October 26th, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM. MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW!
We have an exciting format this year! A full day packed with an energizing keynote speaker, informative education sessions and of course a beautiful venue to showcase for our members the latest and greatest food and equipment! The convention will culminate with an evening of recognition and entertainment at an awards banquet at the Ocean City Convention Center! Each Sustaining Industry Member will receive one complimentary ticket; additional tickets will be available for purchase. You will be able to make the required RSVP on our website. Information on discounted hotel rooms will be found on our website as well. We hope you will join us as we embrace Bridging Bright Futures Through School Meals.
