It all began in 1939, when 37 organizations became the first exhibitors at the CEC Convention in Detroit, MI. From commercial organizations to non-profits and residential/day schools, these companies were pioneers in special education. And in 1967, CEC introduced the Personnel Recruitment Service Center, a precursor to the CEC Career Center. Ever since, school systems from across North America have been coming to CEC to recruit the best teachers, administrators, and faculty in the field.
Now in its 71st year, the CEC Expo has grown to include more than 200 exhibiting companies, non-profits, and school systems, making it the world’s leading expo of special education products and services. Companies that specialize in early childhood, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, response to intervention, technology, and other areas of special and gifted education all have a place at the CEC Expo.
