I am sure this will be recommended by many people, however the ISTE Confere=
nce (formerly know as NECC), is the premier EdTech conference. The newly fo=
rmed Independent Schools SIG will have recommended sessions for ISTE 2010 i=
n Denver and is partnering with ISTE to help make the conference even bette=
r! We have about 180 members in our Wiki. You can join here: http://indepe=
ndentschools.iste.wikispaces.net. You can also go on the ISTE website and =
find archived information and recordings from many of the PAST conference s=
essions!
A good place to check for more LOCAL conferences would be through the regio=
nal ISTE affiliates. You will find links to all the US affiliate organizati=
ons here: http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Membership/Affiliates/=
Directory_of_ISTE_Affiliates/ISTE_Affiliates_in_United_States_of_Amer.htm I=
find if you email them, they are good about responding and letting you kno=
w about what is going on regionally. And the topic Special Interest Groups =
(SIGs) in ISTE can also give you great information about conferences in par=
ticular areas of interest you might have. =20
The last suggestion is VIRTUAL networks and conferences. Here are some to =
consider http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=3DNews_and_Events&Temp=
late=3D/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=3D23882 .
I obviously know a lot about ISTE resources right now but I also know there=
are many other opportunities out there. I look forward to what other ISEDe=
rs recommend. I will post the responses from this question on our Independe=
nt Schools SIG WIKI for our members!

Hello Everyone,
Was wondering what technology conferences are the good ones to go to for in=
dependent schools.
There are a few I am looking at and one that I go to every year here in Kan=
sas, but want to see which ones everyone else are going to.=20
Thanks,
