EdVantExpo, the first consumer expo designed to assist parents and educators in learning the latest trends, services, products and technologies in education and sports, today announced that tickets are now on sale via registration at EdVantExpo will be held on August 28-29, 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In honor of World Cup fever, organizers also announced an unprecedented partnership with the Los Angeles Galaxy Major League Soccer team, which will provide attendees with free admission to a Galaxy soccer game with the purchase of each EdVantExpo ticket.

 

EdVantExpo tickets cost $10 and will include a free ($24 market value) ticket to a LA Galaxy game at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Currently, two LA Galaxy team members, Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle, are representing the United States in the World Cup in South Africa.

 

“Partnering with the LA Galaxy, a team passionately followed by soccer fans in Los Angeles if not around the country, gives families who attend EdVantExpo an extra bonus," said S. Victoria Bolden, EdVantExpo founder. “Extracurricular activities and sports such as soccer contribute to a well-rounded educational experience for today’s children. Soccer is a sport that transcends geographical and ethnic boundaries and is available to most children in the U.S. through community groups and various soccer organizations. Having the Los Angeles Galaxy partner with us means we can help encourage children to engage in healthy and worthwhile after-school activities.”

Open to the public, EdVantExpo is a fun, engaging show that brings together - under one roof - a wide spectrum of companies and organizations dedicated to providing students and their families with the tools to transform their learning abilities, gain confidence and excel. The Expo will be jam-packed with engaging educational and sports activities, interactive entertainment, informative sessions, peer sharing and networking opportunities.

EdVantExpo will also showcase educational tools for improving learning in math, science and reading, present authors of books that help students gain a competitive edge, and provide information on enrichment programs and teaching aids for families and educators.

A full roster of entertainment on the main stage will be offered by Radio Disney AM 1110 Los Angeles, including the Radio Disney Road Crew and special guests still to be announced.
