Share the view over the horizon! The 2008 AECT International Convention where hundreds of sessions offer you the opportunity to immerse yourself in information that will offer the glow of both professional and program development. Convention workshops offer multiple rays of in-depth, hands-on experiences guided by some of the top experts and vendors in the field. AECT division, affiliate, Graduate Student Assembly and committee meetings are the beams of energy on the AECT horizon that keep the association basking in the rays of change. To share in the glow of these rays, we invite you to attend these leadership opportunities.

Three nights of evening activities will offer the glimmering opportunity to illuminate professional and personal pursuits. The International Student Media Festival will have its own program track highlighted to attract students and teachers involved in student media production.

Register early for your advanced admission to the convention. Share in the possibilities, the luminosity, and the prospect of looking beyond the horizon! It’s the AECT 2008 Orlando International Convention - On the Horizon: Rays of Change.
