Who Attends the Learning, Libraries & Technology Conference?

Past conferences have attracted more than 375 attendees from across Ohio, along with some attendees from outside Ohio. Attendees come from a wide range of higher education positions, including faculty, librarians, instructional designers, distance learning directors, professional development personnel, campus and college technology coordinators, student support personnel and others interested in technology-enabled education initiatives. What Attendees Have Said About Past Conferences:

• "This is without a doubt one of the best educational technology conferences I attend all year. Ohio educators especially should go to meet and network with great colleagues, learn about what's happening in the state, and to get new ideas to bring back to your home institution. In the years that I've attended, I don't think I've ever come away from it without learning something new and immediately useful."

• "The conference topics were valuable and helpful. Of all the conferences I have attended this one was packed with the most to help my students and me develop and grow. Great opportunity!"

• "I enjoyed the conference and learned many things I can put to use immediately."

• As usual, excellent job! I look forward to this conference every year.
