1. EXPERIENCED CONFERENCE TEAM!

Spectronics has hosted this ILT conference since 2004. Definitely NOT a commercial product show. It’s an event focused on successful use of technologies with students – using practical evidence-based strategies.


2. PROVEN TO DELIVER!

These comments speak for themselves!


3. EASY TO SHARE WHAT YOU LEARNED

We make it SUPER easy for you to share your learning on your return to work. All presentations and resources will be available online for you to share freely with your team for TWELVE MONTHS after the conference is complete. An optional “Virtual Registration” also provides access to 40 hours of video recordings from the conference. Great for a full year of presentations and IT strategy planning on your return-to-base!


4. UNIQUE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITES

1200 like-minded delegates from Australia, New Zealand, Asia and from around the globe – all specifically interested in use of technologies to support diverse learners! Meet “in-real-life” the key thought influencers from Australian and international listserves and social media forums.


5. ONLY HELD EVERY TWO YEARS

Don’t miss out this year. We are not back until 2016!


6. VALUE FOR MONEY

No other event provides so much. Onsite. Online. And for a full 12 months on return-to-base.


7. INFLUENCE NEW TECH DEVELOPMENT

Speak directly with the international developers of the apps, software and hardware you use with your students. Tell them what you need developed!


8. FUTURE-FACING CONTENT

Not just the same old thing year after year. All new international Keynote Presenters, content, ideas and innovative use of social media! Facing the future by addressing BYOD, technology selection, and access to the curriculum via technology using Apple, Google and Windows mobile and computer-based platforms.


9. PROFESSIONAL LEARNING HARD TO FIND ANYWHERE ELSE

It is difficult to source PL around specialised assistive technologies. This is the one event that brings it all together in one place! Offering EVERY session focused specifically on strategies for successfully using technology with your students who are struggling to meet educational goals.


10. FOMA. FEAR OF MISSING OUT

Don’t be that person. Be there!
