Susan Riley | April 2013

Conference Registration Giveaway

This Giveaway is now CLOSED.  Congratulations to Karin Cevasco on winning a free registration to the conference!  Thanks to everyone who participated.

Today’s Free Friday is a BIG one!  We are giving you a video preview of our Connectivity Conference 2013 website today so that you can get a sneak peak into what the venue looks like.  The official website is password protected and our registrants will receive their password via a link the day of the conference.  But today, we thought it would be great to give everyone a little look around to see what our 2013 Connectivity Conference has to offer.  Here a few of the highlights:

  • A dedicated website just for our event this year.
  • Recorded sessions will be show on the stage and presenters will be available via chat to answer your questions live.  All transcripts will be available after the conference.
  • An exhibit hall for our sponsors and exhibitors.
  • A teacher’s lounge so that you can network and collaborate with other teachers across the country.

We are loving the flexibility of hosting the event on a dedicated website, rather than as live webinars, because it gives us the ability to interact, collaborate and still be able to use the site as a resource well beyond the conference itself.  So if you’re participating in the conference from your beach chair, your office, or at a later date, you’re still getting the same great experience.  Take a look:

And now for the part you’ve been waiting for!  We are giving away ONE FREE Conference Registration (a $99 value) to a lucky winner drawn randomly from random.org.  All you have to do to enter is share the word about the conference on Facebook or Twitter and then come back here to let us know you shared the love via the comment box below.  A winner will be drawn next Thursday (April 18th).  Good luck!
