Authors will be notified at that time.

How it Fits

The classroom education is one of many education opportunities at PSP/Deck Expo. Other education sessions are:

• Pre-Show Education. Running November 10-12 during the 2023 event. These are typically multi-day or full-day classes from the events show partners: PHTA, GENESIS®, or NADRA.
• Specialty Education. Running November 10-15 during the 2023 event. These are association-led courses to help attendees stay informed. Courses are available from American Shotcrete Association and National Plasterers Council.
• Show Floor Education. Running November 13-15 during the 2023 event, and always during Expo Hall hours. These sessions are short but impactful and can include panels or hands-on-demos.

Deadline

In 2022, the event received more than 140 submissions, with many coming in in the final day. Authors are encouraged to submit early – and may submit multiple sessions with different topics. The deadline to apply is March 13, 2023.
