Why Attend | About the Virtual Conference
The 2012 Virtual Conference will stream 21 sessions live over the Internet from ASCD’s Annual Conference in Philadelphia, Pa., March 24-26. The sessions, covering 30 hours of content, will also be archived for participants to view up to 6 months after the event. Here are a few reasons to attend.
Access to Experts:
By attending the Virtual Conference, you will be able to interact with and ask questions of the presenters, interact with other Virtual Conference attendees, and connect with top content providers and vendors.
Price:
At $159 for nonmembers and $129 for members, the Virtual Conference is priced at less than $8 a session, a bargain for any educator or institution looking for a rewarding and memorable professional development opportunity that will help you translate learning into practice.
Convenience:
We know budgets are tight and travel and lodging costs are a key aspect of the decision to attend a conference so for those who can’t attend in person, a virtual conference is a great opportunity to get quality sessions right at your home or school computer that you can watch on your own time.
Platform:
The 2012 Virtual Conference will be built on the Social 27 conference platform and will integrate ASCD’s social networking community ASCD EDge®. The platform and the video stream will be viewable on standard PCs and Macs, as well as on most iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and Android based devices.
