 South Carolina’s premier educational technology conference is designed to promote the use of educational technology to enhance student learning. The mission of EdTech 2007 is to bring educators, administrators, technology professionals, college faculty and staff, public and academic librarians, business and industry trainers, industry representatives and policy makers together to think, discuss, listen and learn the best strategies to plan for, implement, and use educational technology in our schools.
The South Carolina EdTech conference is planned and delivered by the South Carolina Association for Educational Technology (SCAET), represented by multiple South Carolina partners that includes K-12, higher education, state government agencies, and telecommunications business partners.
Partner members of SCAET this year include: The South Carolina State Department of Education, South Carolina Partnership for Distance Education, Technology Services, South Carolina Educational Television, Association for Applied Interactive Multimedia (AAIM), South Carolina Association of School Librarians, BellSouth, Avaya, South Carolina Budget and Control Board- Chief Information Office, the University of South Carolina School of Library and Information Science, and College of Charleston School of Education.
WHO WILL ATTEND:
 Approximately 1000 K-12 and higher education teachers, administrators, technology and media specialists, business leaders, legislators and Department of Education personnel.
The exhibit hall will be a valuable part of the conference and ample time has been built into the conference schedule for attendees to visit the exhibits. Over 180 exhibit spaces were present in the exhibit hall at last year's conference. In addition to the many commercial exhibitors, you will find many state agencies represented as well as the interactive S.C.A.E.T/AAIM eArcade.
Be sure to check the conference calendar of events when planning your time in advance. The preconference day has been expanded to include many new events and activities. During the summer of 2007, you will be able to view all the many concurrent presentation offerings, workshops, and speakers. You will also be able to create your own personal daily schedule planner so that you will have your time at EdTech all mapped out.
CONFERENCE DATES:
This year's EdTech conference will be held at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center on October 24-26, 2007. The Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention complex has been selected as the conference official hotel. Special rates are available for EdTech participants.
