The Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) Northeast Region is hosting two furniture exhibitions in 2021. The first exhibition will be in partnership with the Southeast Region as part of a joint conference. The second exhibition is in Massachusetts and in partnership with the Commonwealth’s Operational Services Division (OSD). Exhibitor registration is open for both events. Details are provided below.

Much of the east coast is currently experiencing a growing school construction market. This exhibition is an opportunity for furniture manufacturers and furniture dealers to display their products to conference attendees from the entire eastern half of the United States as well as area educators, architects, procurement officers, and other members of the design community. Admission will be free of charge to everyone. The Association for Learning Environments is collaborating with state and local organizations to market the event. Although space is limited, exhibitors may purchase more than one booth. Upon registering for a booth, a member of A4LE will reach out via email with specific instructions regarding loading and unloading.

Currently, Massachusetts is undertaking approximately $1B worth of school construction per year in the public K-12 market with a combination of a state-funded grant program and local funding. Other significant school building programs also are underway in other areas of our region.
