Why should your school or organization take
part?
The ability to learn, grow, dialog, and
network is the obvious benefit of having a large
number of incredible schools and organizations
in the same vicinity. There is also the benefit
of reaching over 400+ Teachers, Parents,
Administrators, Students, Children, and
Individuals intimately involved in educational
alternatives who will be taking part in this
incredible gathering!
How does my school or organization take
part?
It’s quite easy, actually. All your school
or organization has to do to have a table at the
fair is have at least one person register for
the conference! After someone is registered as
an attendee, simply contact
aeroconference@gmail.com with your intent to
take part in the fair and a table will be
reserved for you.
Registration fees are quite low and
scholarship
opportunities are available.
Group rates are also
available.
The Fair & Exhibition
will be held from 11am-5:30pm on Saturday, June
28th with 3:00pm-4:00pm being the main time as
no other events are scheduled during that
timeslot.

Talent Show/Open
Mic
Presented by
Grand Street Community Arts
The title is self
descriptive, but for those that have not
participated in an AERO conference talent
show before you'll be in for quite a treat!
The last night of the conference is always
an entertainment evening, which you'll find
is much needed after every last muscle in
your brain has been tapped!
Attendees have brought the house down with
applause after sharing some of their talents
and even brought tears to folks eyes after
comedic performances in the past, but don't
be shy! Come to this event to
remember!
We are excited to have Grand
Street Community Arts presenting this year's
talent show and open mic. Grand Street
Community Arts is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to creating an arts center in
Albany's South End. See
http://www.gscarts.org for more
information.
