It’s the best event on Earth for all the hardworking PTO and PTA leaders helping make their schools great. In just a few hours you’ll get new ideas, new connections, prizes, free samples, fundraising help, and fun—all in one place.

We understand you probably need to get the kids to school and off the bus, so you’re welcome to stop in at any point during the day. And if you have little ones, bring them along—strollers and carts included.
