2012 will mark the tenth anniversary of the creation of SLATE and the annual SLATE Conference. Over the past nine years over 2500 people representing almost 120 unique institutions from the Midwest, across the country, and around the world have attended this conference. This conference invites all faculty, system administrators, CIO's, Web developers, instructional designers, librarians, students, and user support staff from institutions that are deploying and/or currently using any Web-based tools, applications or programs, in their teaching and learning. Recognizing that deployment issues, support concerns, teaching strategies, learning styles, etc. are common among the varied CMS/LMS clients, everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate.

So come join us this year to:

Share ideas and learn more about what other institutions are doing
Discuss best practices and implementation strategies
Discuss pedagogical and learning issues
Choose from over fifty different sessions in five tracks
Create a dialogue between K-12 and Higher Ed institutions
Hear about the latest product releases, services, and the current Blackboard Roadmap
Engage in Q&A with representatives from Blackboard
Have direct contact with Building Block development partners
Participate in pre-conference workshops and hands-on training sessions
Take an evening to unwind and socialize at the conference reception

One of the many goals of this conference is to provide a forum where all participants are able to connect, gather new ideas, and find opportunities for future collaboration. It is because of you, the people who participate, that this conference has been such a success over the years. We look forward to seeing you.
