2011 Education Technology Conferences – the big four, and more

Will you be attending any of these?

I went to Campus Technology 2010 in Boston last July, and found it to be thoroughly worth the time and cost (I wrote this post about it). I intend to go again this year. I'd also love to get down to ISTE 2011 or Educause 2011 too, since they're within driving distance for me, making them more affordable to get to. How about you? 

EduComm 2011
June 13 - 15 at the Hilton Walt Disney World Resort

ISTE 2011
June 26 – 29 at the Philadelphia Convention Center

  Educause 2011
October 18 – 21 at the Philadelphia Convention Center

 Campus Technology 2011
July 25 – 28 at Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, MA
[Campus Technology doesn't have a new page up yet for the 2011 conference. The link above goes to the 2010 conference page.]

 

Of course, there are many regional and state Ed Tech events here in the US, as well as many International events. Lots of these are listed on the following pages:

• Events listing from Sloan-C
• Educause's events listing 

I should also mention what I believe is the main conference focused on distance education – the Distance Teaching & Learning Conference, now in it's 27 th year.  It will be held Aug 3 – 5 in Madison, WI this year.

Have you been to any of these events in the past? Which ones are your favorites? Do any of them seem to provide more value than the others? Drop a comment and provide your insights! Thanks.
