Following the successful change from June to April last year, the event will be hosted on April 16-17, 2013, at the Marriott West in Madison, Wisconsin.

The Douglas Stewart Company announced today the official dates for its 2013 Creating Connections in Education Show (C2ES). Following the successful change from June to April last year, the event will be hosted on April 16-17, 2013, at the Marriott West in Madison, Wisconsin.

"Historically, we hosted the show at the beginning of the summer, but based on our customers' feedback and the changes we observed in purchasing practices, we moved it up to April. Now, our customers will have the additional time they have asked for to evaluate new products and make back-to-school buying decisions earlier in the year," said Chuck Hulan, COO at The Douglas Stewart Company.

More details will be made available as planning for C2ES 2013 continues. To stay in touch with C2ES 2013, follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/c2es.tradeshow.
