As
the time for our AECT 2012 International Convention in Louisville, KY draws
closer, I wanted to highlight two opportunities for convention attendees:
Joint University Reception

We
are pleased to invite you and your university to participate in the AECT 2012
International Convention Joint University Reception, Friday, November 2, 2012
at the Galt House, Louisville, Kentucky. With the overwhelming success of last
year’s Joint University Reception, AECT will once again schedule the reception
in one large room. With this year's theme of “Learning in the Age of
Globalization” this event provides you with the opportunity to showcase your
university programs to AECT attendees and to highlight your successes and new
directions. And, it also provides you with a great chance to reconnect with
alumni and friends. The cost to each university is $900. AECT will make
all final arrangements with the hotel for space, menu selections, cash bars and
room setups. Each university will have one 8’ draped conference table for
your university display. To reserve space, complete this
form and return it to AECT no later than September 15. Don't miss this
opportunity to highlight the achievements of your students and faculty!
River Cruise on the Spirit of Jefferson
Picture
in your mind a cruise down the Ohio River while being entertained by a jazz
combo, enjoying the company of friends. Imagine no longer! The ECT
Foundation has graciously arranged a river cruise on the Spirit of Jefferson in
Louisville, KY, as part of our AECT International Convention. Immediately following
our Joint University Reception on Friday, November 2nd, passengers will
travel just a few steps from the Galt House to begin boarding at 8 p.m.
The Spirit of Jefferson will begin its 3-hour tour at 8:30 p.m. Special
entertainment will be provided by The
JazzTechs, composed of our very own talented AECT member musicians. I hope
you can join us for this special event, while raising funds for ECT Foundation
awards and scholarships. Tickets for the cruise are only $35 and may be easily
added to your 2012 AECT International Convention registration. Simply log into
our AECT.org website (Membership # and Last Name), click on the convention
link, and then Add
Options Registration (or you can just click on the previous link after
logging in). Download
a flyer with the cruise details and share with your
colleagues.
