2009
Annual State Technology Conference
February 22nd - 24th
Virginia Beach Convention Center
|
Each Spring VSTE sponsors the only statewide
technology conference in Virginia. Over 1,200 attendees
are excited each year by cutting edge technology sessions
and workshops.
We promise to overwhelm you with information, opportunities,
knowledge and activities. In two and a half days, you can
select from over 125 concurrent sessions and 24 optional
ticketed hands-on workshops. Visit our exhibitors and gather
information on state of the art opportunities for education.
While our conference expands and grows each
year, we also have a great tradition of items that attendees
have come to appreciate. Two meals are included in your
registration each day (Monday & Tuesday). Breaks are
also included all days.
Whether you are new to technology or an
advanced user, you will enjoy our conference and learn.
We promise you'll have fun, be excited, gather ideas for
your classroom, and look forward to coming back year after
year.
This is one Conference that you will
not want to miss. We're not anywhere near the biggest, but
in quality we are working hard to be considered among the
best. Please select a link on the left for more information.
Links come alive during the planning process, so visit back
on a regular basis
