Certain presentations given at the STN's 19th Annual North American School Bus EXPO Conference in July are available for download.

The 22 PowerPoint presentations or hand-outs can be downloaded by track or general session that are listed under "2012 Presentations" on the STN EXPO home page. Only those STN received permission to publish are available. More presentations may be added in the future as they are made available.

The theme for the 2012 STN EXPO, held July 21-25, was "Discovering Opportunities" and featured a keynote presentation from actor J.R. Martinez, the winner of season 13 of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" and a hero of the Iraq War. Martinez suffered burns to 40 percent of his body and endured nearly three dozen surgeries and skin grafts after the Humvee he was driving in Karbala, Iraq, struck a landmine in April 2003.

In all, the STN EXPO featured four dozen sessions, workshops and sessions. The one day-trade show on July 24 featured more than 100 exhibitor companies.

The 20th annual STN EXPO is scheduled for July 20-24 in Reno, Nev. Stay tuned for updates.
