Expo Zones

Find Exhibitors & Services by Category

The Military Child World Expo is organized into Expo Zones to help families, students, educators, and community members easily locate exhibitors, services, and resources that meet their needs.

Each exhibitor is assigned to a Zone based on the primary service or support they provide. Zones are designed to make navigating the Expo clear, efficient, and family-friendly,  whether you are attending as a parent, student, educator, caregiver, veteran, or community partner.

Use the Zones below to explore who is participating and where to find them during the Expo.
