One of the highlights once again was Showcase Alley, where vendors and organizations connected directly with afterschool professionals seeking fresh resources, partnerships, and creative solutions. With the vendor fair selling out in advance, the exhibit space became a lively hub of networking and discovery. From innovative curriculum tools to youth-centered enrichment opportunities, Showcase Alley reinforced the importance of collaboration between providers and the organizations that support them.

Showcase Alley took on a new look this year being in The Tree House Lounge. The Ballroom was used beautifully for a spacious gathering and presentation. In order to facilitate everyone better the Tree House Lounge was spread out to accommodate the wide variety of vendors. There was something from all different aspects of the afterschool and OST world. With 32 tables this year saw a great list of friendly faces on the Meet the Vendors list.
