We are excited to bring you the 2nd National PSUG Information Exchange Conference in fabulous Las Vegas, NV.  We learned a lot from our first event and are working to bring you an even better 2nd event.  Stay tuned for more details!

A PowerSchool User Conference put on BY PowerSchool users from districts all over the United States is what you will be a part of when you attend the 2012 National PSUG Information Exchange & Vendor Expo.  Attend sessions put on by fellow PowerSchool users that will give you a real world view on how others are using PowerSchool in their districts. Please note: While Pearson supports our events and will be in attendance at our conference, this is NOT a Pearson event. These conferences are put on "BY" PowerSchool users "FOR" PowerSchool users.

We will have nearly 100 unique PowerSchool sessions for our attendees. Presenters from all over the US and perhaps even a few international presenters will be joining us this year. Click here to view the sessions from 2011's conference.

We are considering keeping some of the reception information a secret until just before the conference. But we can tell you we are going from two nights of fun to FOUR nights of fun. You can network with 100s of PowerSchool users from all over the US and other countries at these wonderful evening receptions and they are FREE as part of your registration and brought to you by our very generous sponsors and our exhibitors.

*Subject to change without notice due to performer issues!!!

SUNDAY:
FREE SL0T TOURNAMENT
Our 2011 attendees said they enjoyed this last year so we are once again going to give our conference attendees the chance to win cash prizes at our FREE SL0T TOURNAMENT. Details are being worked out and will be announced prior to the conference. This would be the only event that we may not be able to allow spouses/partners to participate in (but they can watch!) as they only have so many machines and we only have so much time to get this done in.

MONDAY:
Welcome Reception Sponsored by SchoolMessenger
Our friends from SchoolMessenger sponsored some great entertainment for us last year and they jumped back on board with us to bring you an incredible night of fun & laughs on Monday night. Details are being worked out now but we are working on bringing you not one but TWO National Headliner acts on Monday night. You won't want to miss this one!

TUESDAY:
VENDOR RECEPTION
We will have twice as many exhibitors this year at the 2012 event and they are working with us to bring you a Vendor Reception that will bring you yet another National Headliner!  We are negotiating now to bring you one of Vegas's best and a multi award winning act at our reception.   This is a great time to network with fellow PowerSchool Users and the many exhibitors that helped bring you this great conference!

WEDNESDAY:
CLOSING RECEPTION brought to you by?????
We have several ideas set in motion now for our final reception of the conference. More Vegas Style Entertainment is in the planning stages now and we hope to book things in the next 90 days.

FOUR days of great PowerSchool sessions and FOUR nights of networking fun!! 

Again, we know there is a lot to see in Las Vegas but we are going to offer you a free SL0T tournament and THREE evening receptions with great entertainment, ALL FREE to you and your guest (21 & over please!)!  This is over a $300 value in FREE SHOW TICKETS you will be receiving and it is all included with your conference registration and with the help of our sponsors and exhibitors!!

We had nearly 30 exhibitors at our 1st annual conference and we may wind up doubling that number for 2012. Be sure to make time to find out about the many different products or services offered by our exhibitors that work with PowerSchool. What better way to find out what other school districts are using with PowerSchool than to stop by our Vendor Expo and find out what products are available to you.  Dozens and dozens of exhibitors will be on hand to show you how their products or services can help you in your district and how they work with PowerSchool.
