Showcase Alley 2025

New Jersey’s Annual Conference on Afterschool and Out-of-School Time (OST) 2025 celebrates long-term success in the ever-changing landscape of Afterschool, S.T.E.A.M. and Expanded Learning. The conference, taking place on Friday and Saturday, April 4 and 5, 2025, features dozens of workshops aimed at improving the quality of afterschool and out-of-school time programs.

Showcase Alley takes place on Friday, April 4, 2024 and is a special 1 day opportunity for you to promote your business and/or organization by securing an exhibit table. Showcase Alley is designed so that ALL conference participants are channeled through the exhibits between 11:35am to 1:20pm.

FEE = $200 PER EXHIBIT (INCLUDES 1 EXHIBIT TABLE)

WHO TYPICALLY ATTENDS SHOWCASE ALLEY?

Historically, conference participants on Friday are those people who have the purchasing power for their youth serving organizations. They consist of program directors, school district leaders and front line staff. While registration numbers vary from year to year, vendors should be prepared to engage with 150 conference participants during Showcase Alley.
