Opportunities: Joint University Reception and River Cruise

(Reposted from AECT August 2012 Newsletter)

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.
