CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS/PHOTOS


"I don't think there is another conference that brings together educators and industry for the benefit of our technical workforce that is as effective in disseminating information and building relationships."


"I always make great new connections at HI-TEC and learn about various technologies outside of my immediate area."


"This is the most beneficial conference in terms of practical information that is disseminated that I have attended since I started teaching at the community college."


"The numerous networking opportunities and exhibits enabled me to meet directly with higher level sponsors to discuss changes that impact my delivery of classroom materials."


"I don't know of another conference that achieves the goals of relevance and collaboration for technical educators. It's the place to be!"


"The conference is an extremely important information exchange activity for technological workforce development."


"HI-TEC provides updates and trends in technical education and industry that I find invaluable."


"The information disseminated is extremely useful for program improvement and creation."


"HI-TEC offers a great opportunity for faculty/deans to see other areas cross-disciplinary opportunities."


"The availability of companies and colleagues is immeasurable."


"HI-TEC is targeted to exactly what is needed (academic and industry)."
