CTCNet Conference 2003-Presenter Opportunities!

[Wendy Rivenburgh]

Hi, all.  We just wanted to share with everyone on the list this latest
update on the CTCNet Conference.  This year YouthLearn plans to be more
involved than ever--we're developing sessions on project-based learning,
technology integration, and youth leadership.  If anyone wants to
collaborate, please be in touch with us.  Of course, we also hope you will
share your expertise in your own sessions.

Best,
Wendy

Subject: CTCNet Conference 2003 - Presenter Opportunities!

We invite you to submit a session proposal for the 2003 CTCNet Annual
National Conference, June 26-29 in Washington, DC!

Apply online at http://www2.ctcnet.org/conf/2003/present/session.asp

Deadline for Proposals: February 19, 2003

Notification of accepted sessions: March 1, 2003

About the Conference:

The CTCNet Annual National Conference has been the premier event in the
community technology field throughout the past decade - no other conference
draws representatives from so many of the most outstanding community
technology  programs together with community leaders, non-profit
practitioners, funders and policymakers.

With attendance expected to reach over 700, this year's conference will be
the best yet!  We're looking for dynamic presentations and workshops on
topics such as:

  a.. Programs and Curricula;
  b.. Policy, Advocacy and Organizing;
  c.. Technology; and
  d.. Organizational Development.

About Presenting & Sessions:
Sessions should be interactive - the most effective (and popular) sessions
are those that involve attendees in meaningful and creative ways. Based on
a great deal of input from conference evaluations over the past several
years, preference will be given to applicants proposing workshops oriented
toward building skills and resources, rather than panel presentations.

Sessions should also fit the learning tracks of the conference. Information
on this year's conference tracks can be found on our Presenter
Opportunities page http://www2.ctcnet.org/conf/2003/present/session.asp .
Most sessions will be 90 minutes long, but there may be opportunities for
two hour sessions. Applicants should be flexible to hold their proposed
sessions on any day of the conference.

CTCNet reviews each session proposal and takes care to ensure varied
content and perspectives. All presenters should be open to co-presenting if
CTCNet believes it is appropriate and should consider issues of diversity
and disability access in their sessions.

Session Presenters and Organizers will receive a waived registration fee
for the full day of the conference on which their session falls, or a
discount of $100 off the $220 conference registration fee if they are
attending the entire conference.
