Academic Partner Development Committee

The APD Sub-Committee is working to build strong partnerships with faculty at colleges and universities, who will in turn prepare students for positions in the professional sector of our industry. The end goal is to recruit more schools like FIT and Bemidji State who understand the mutual benefits – for the university, students, and exhibit companies – of working together.

Although additional future design talent is great, this group includes dozens of other talented roles within our industry.

We are focused on the following resources:

Colleges and Universities
Trade Schools
Alumni Associations
