CSC @ EDspaces
Charlotte, NC | November 7-9, 2023

EDspaces and Campus Safety Conference are happy to announce their events will co-locate in 2023! EDspaces and Campus Safety Conference will take place November 7-9 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC. This partnership is a natural progression for the two events as campus physical safety and classroom design go hand-in-hand.

The co-location of these two events opens the door to more resources for school and college administrators, campus security executives, law enforcement, and emergency management professionals, as well as delivers new insights to architects and distributors in the education design market. EDspaces and Campus Safety Conference will offer an expanded Campus Safety Pavilion and additional safety and security educational content.

The goal is to assist in addressing the rising issues facing today’s schools and institutions of higher education, helping them prepare for, prevent, and mitigate security and safety incidents.

What is EDspaces?

Innovation transforms learning environments, and it’s on full display at EDspaces. Both an incubator of progressive ideas and a knowledge-sharing playground, it unites the forward-thinking architects, designers, administrators, and facilities managers who are eagerly reimagining traditional school settings with the manufacturers, distributors, and service providers offering thoughtful products and solutions that holistically motivate students at all levels of their educational journey.

First launched in 1996 as the School Equipment Show by the Education Market Association, the event has evolved into the dynamic EDspaces, mirroring the desire—and need—for more engaging and unconventional classrooms from kindergarten through college.

Twenty-five years later, as 2020 so poignantly underscored, the concept of learning is rapidly shifting. Between its buzzing show floor, immersive tours, and enlightening education sessions, EDspaces is the place to delve into new perspectives—and new possibilities.
