MacLearning.org and Apple, Inc. are pleased to announce the offering of four regional conferences on teaching and learning using Apple technologies. Based on the feedback from an earlier survey on travel expenses and budgets, we have jointly decided to offer four regional AcademiX 2009 conferences designed to offer opportunities for learning and sharing at minimal cost to you or your institution.

In addition, we are offering the opportunity for you to share your innovative uses of Apple technologies with your colleagues. All AcademiX 2009 conferences will conclude with a poster session and reception. We ask you to consider submitting a poster abstract proposal when you register. And if showcasing what your institution is doing is not enough, prizes will be awarded for the Top 3 Posters at each conference (see Registration site for more details). Also, for those who need direct, actionable knowledge, pre-conference sessions will be offered, too. These sessions will be an incredible opportunity for those who support Apple technologies to learn directly from Apple Education Consulting Engineers.

Times are tight and we understand that budgets for conference travel and expenses are constrained, so we designed the conference schedule to fit into a single extended day to help reduce or eliminate hotel costs. Equally important, all of the regional conferences are offered at no cost to attendees, including the optional pre-conference lab sessions. Meals will also be provided at no cost, so your only expenses may be travel and lodging. (And speaking of lodging, we've also worked really hard to obtain great rates for all the conference sites.)
