Housing Block Information - Submit your choices by Friday, Oct 24th.

You need to make your housing block choices and submit your request to Susan no later than Friday, October 24th. Listed below are the lists and forms you'll need to see the choices and request your block. If you participated last year, your request needs to stay within about 5% over what you actually used last year, unless you have a pretty realistic expectation that you'll use more. Unfortunately housing availability is very tight, so we have to be pretty conservative.

Program Overview

The co-marketing program is a great opportunity to allow ISTE to promote your organization to potential members in your area, and offers you discounts and promotional opportunities exclusive to co-marketers. In exchange, ISTE will provide your organization with ways you can promote ISTE and all its valuable resources to your members. Most of the program focuses on your conference and NECC, however there is value even beyond that. Even if not many of your members will be attending NECC, you should consider participating to take advantage of other promotional benefits.

Here are the documents you need for this year's program. Please review them, then sign and return the agreement to Susan Larson. If you have any questions, please ask! Contact Susan at slarson@iste.org, or call 541-434-8900.
