Attended a good conference lately?

That’s always a good question to ask of people.  Have you?

The latest newsletter from Contact North points to a resource on their website.

It’s a searchable directory of Education and Technology conferences from around the world.

I enjoyed poking around looking at all of the opportunities.

If only I had a bigger travelling and learning budget.

The list is huge.

There was one entry, however, that was missing.  I’m sure it’s an oversight.  I did send off an email with the link to the conference website.  I’m writing this on Wednesday morning for publication on Thursday morning so I’m hoping it will be there when you check things out.

If not, here’s a direct link.
