2010 OHEN Convention Vendor Information

Dear Vendor or Exhibitor,

You are invited to participate in the Oregon Home Education Network’s 2010 Homeschool Convention titled "You’re On the Right Track!" OHEN is an inclusive, statewide, non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting all of Oregon’s homeschooling families. The convention is one of the major ways we offer this support. We anticipate approximately 300-500 convention attendees. There will be multiple opportunities for attendees to shop, including the first hour of registration, breaks between sessions and a lunch break.
