About the 2009 Convention

The 2009 Convention is December 4-6, 2009 in Overland Park, at the Sheraton Overland Park and Overland Park Convention Center. Don’t miss this event, perfect for board members, superintendents, support professionals and others. It’s the best way to boost your knowledge, so you can make informed decisions that help your students and your school district. Nowhere else can you find so much valuable information so quickly – information that can help your district spend limited funds wisely, and could pay for your attendance many times over.

By attending you will gain information and inspiration from outstanding speakers . . . from the pre-convention seminars to breakout sessions . . . and from the exhibits with many products and services. You will also have plenty of opportunities to network with your colleagues. Share your ideas on what works – and what doesn’t.

More than 60 companies will be eager to show you their latest and greatest products and services. The exhibitors are vital to the success of the KASB Convention and attendees are encouraged to spend time visiting them and learning about their products and services.
