Colorado Conference Time

Conferences are a terrific way to broaden perspectives, pick up new ideas for practice, and meet and spend time with peers. Check out these posts, then start a discussion with your supervisor about possible attendance.

If you are looking for a Colorado conference in March and April, this is a great year. For the best registration prices, now is probably the time to register.

Mar. 2 - 5, Denver (National). League for Innovations in the Community College: http://league.org/. CMC will have seven or more presentations at this conference. Here's a chance to see what your colleagues are doing in a national context.

April 14-15, Breckenridge, CO. (International) Innovate Conference. Title: The Real and Ideal. This conference features both national and international presenters on practices and leadership--this is a very interesting program in CMC's back yard.

If you have conferences to recommend, it would be great if you would share them in the comments section of this post. Don't overlook the next post. It provides the details about the Faculty Professional Development Fund that just might get you to one of these conferences.
