What People do at NECC...
In addition to the largest Ed Tech exhibit in the world, we offer an
extensive professional program that consists of 170+ half- and fullday
workshops, keynote sessions, several breakout sessions per day
(more than 500 total to choose from at last year's conference),
and special interest Birds-of-a-Feather sessions. First timers are
introduced to the conference through strategically scheduled
sessions, and newcomers and repeat participants alike are treated
to a multitude of networking and social activities throughout the
conference.
The NECC Exhibit Hall has been heralded in postconference
interviews and evaluations as one of the most valuable elements of
the conference, and the conference organizers and exhibit
management staff pay special attention to creating ideal traffic flow
and focused opportunities for attendees to browse the exhibits.We
recognize the added strength that Exhibitor sessions bring to
NECC's professional program, and we plan to continue the recent
trend of allowing full integration into the conference program.
