CEC 2010 Convention & Expo
April 21-24
Nashville, Tenn.

Join us next year for the CEC Convention & Expo—the largest professional development event dedicated to special and gifted education. There, educators from around the world will discuss the most pressing issues in the field and share information about evidence-based practices in areas such as administration and supervision; autism spectrum disorders; emotional and behavior disorders and supports; instructional strategies for math, reading, and science; response to intervention; and technology.

The CEC Convention & Expo offers hundreds of educational sessions conducted by leading experts and endless opportunities to network with others working with children with exceptionalities and their families. Attendees will also learn about new and pending legislation and explore cutting-edge products and services in the exhibit hall. You won't want to miss this chance to catch up on what's happening in the field, broaden your perspective of special education, and further your professional growth.

The Gaylord Opryland truly embodies the spirit of "southern hospitality," making it the perfect setting for networking, learning, and relaxing at the end of the day. This will be CEC's first time in Nashville, a city known as the hub of country, bluegrass, jazz, and other types of music. The capital of Tennessee also supports a vibrant university community and is home to many historical and cultural attractions. Please click here for more information about "Music City."

Registration opens Oct. 15, 2009.
