The Capital Area Intermediate Unit (IU 15) located at 55 Miller Street, Enola, PA is currently planning an event, Learning and Leading Solutions Mini-Conference, to be held at IU 15 on October 21, 2009 from 8:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m.

The event will be for technology professionals, administrators, supervisors, and department heads working within educational institutions in our region. The WAN CONTENT UTILIZATION TEAM is organizing this event in hopes of finding relevant content to be placed on our WAN that serves 24 school district and 2 vocational/technical schools. The potential of content delivery to over 480 schools districts on a state-wide network, PAIUnet, exists.

This FREE conference will focus on curriculum based software tools or technology integration. There will be two learning tracts: ·Instructional Applications ·Administrative Technology

The IU 15 would like your presence at the conference. We would love for you to display your products to a wide audience for the day and allow for interested persons to learn more about your product! PLEASE KNOW THAT ONLY SELECTED VENDORS/COMPANIES HAVE BEEN PRE-SELECTED FOR THIS MINI-CONFERENCE BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM WITHIN OUR DISTRICTS. You will have the opportunity to present an 30-40 minute overview of your product and have the opportunity to network with curriculum and technology specialists that are interested in your product.

We anticipate around 75 attendees plus. The goal is for school leaders & educators to learn more about Informational Technologies and have the opportunity to talk to you about aligning their Strategic Plans/Technology Plans with your solutions. We provide services to 24 member school districts, 2 area vocational technical schools, over 60 non-public schools, several charter schools and cyber charter schools. In addition, we operate the Capital Area School for the Arts (CASA), Capital Area Adventures, and Hilltop Academy. While we are interested in examining products to deliver on our WAN, and possibly PAIUnet, we are also looking for content to be delivered through web based applications.

Please let me know if you are interested in participating in this wonderful event!

Take care, Jill jmachemer@caiu.org
