Os copio lo que EDUCATION OPTIONS EXPO pone en su web acerca de quienes son y dónde quieren llegar. Está en inglés... sorry.

Why was the Expo created?

We started this event because the future is changing faster than ever before in history and we want your child to excel in it.  The only way to do that is to empower them through education and prepare them for the incredible changes which are coming our way. 

Parents are demanding new and better methods of learning which tap into, and maximize, the potential of their child. So it's up to each individual and community around the Bay Area to take leadership and get into the game by exploring real options.  This event will empower you to do so.
