ISTE 2020: Call for proposals now open!

Time to share your teaching with technology experience! Why not become a presenter at one of the largest edtech conference? ISTE 2020 will be held in Anaheim, California.

“ISTE helps educators around the world use technology to solve tough problems in education. We seek proposals from educators at every career stage, from all backgrounds and all parts of the world, and love to see student participation in presentations! We also welcome exhibitor proposals that demonstrate noncommercial uses of technology to transform education.
Proposals must be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. PT, Sept. 27, 2019.”

On its Web page, International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) explains what is a good proposal for its annual conference, gives acceptance rates according to types of submissions (e.g. creation lab and poster sessions have better rates than classical lecture or panel sessions, etc.).

Presenters from all around the world and from all levels are welcome to propose. If your submission is approved, you will need to register to the conference, but will have access to the lowest rate available. ISTE conference will be taking place in Anaheim CA (USA), at the Anaheim Convention Center, on June 28 – July 1, 2020.
