Of course, there are many, (many!) regional and state Ed Tech events here in the US, as well as many International events, but my intent here was to focus on the big national events in the U.S. I didn't miss any did I?
Have any questions, comments, thoughts? Do any of those state or regional events out-do these national events in your experience? Please tell us what you think.

Hi Kelly: One more that you may want to list is actually a series of conferences. Sloan-C, which used to be one big conference, is now three: one this next week, one in July and one in November.

Also, the Annual Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning is more general than its title may suggest, though it’s smaller than several of the others.

Thanks for mentioning these conferences, Rosemary. I focused in this post on national US conferences that were about education technology in a more general sense, as opposed to those that are specific to certain areas of education technology. These that you’ve listed look interesting, and are still national ed tech events, just with a more precise focus. By the “Immersive Learning Summit”, did you mean the Immersive Education Inititaive in Boston next week (I couldn’t find anything under Immersive Learning Summit)?
I think I’d like to try and compile a listing of “national” US events like this each that I will make available as a reference on the site.
There are so many more. Immersive Learning Summit, Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education, AERA, AECT, SITE, etc.
Thanks Dallas – this sounds pretty cool. Can’t wait to check it out!
I know the ISTE conference will be streamed into Second Life for those who can’t attend in person (but CAN attend via Avatar).
I’m involved with the build for the SL event and it’s going to be simply amazing. 😉
