NDLA, now doing business as the Nebraska Digital Learning Association is hosting its 17th Annual Conference, Digital Change: Beyond the Device, on February 22-23 (Thursday–Friday), 2018 at the Hotel RL by Red Lion at 3321 S. 72nd Street, Omaha.

This two-day format allows for many breakouts, round table discussions, networking opportunities, keynote and spotlight speakers, as well as time to visit sponsors and content providers. Vendors will be set up all day Thursday and also Friday until just after lunch. Breakout sessions highlight best practices in K–20 education, telehealth, content provider, and hopefully sessions from your institution—as a sponsor—showcasing the latest and greatest in solutions for all aspects of distance or blended learning.

Exhibitors will be located in a central large meeting room area on Thursday and Friday; this is the same space where breakfast and lunch is offered and where a featured speaker will begin each day. Set up can begin at 6:30 AM Thursday. The booth table will be 6-8 ft. with ample space around the table (drapes are extra, by request), and exhibitors can be provided a high-bandwidth network drop (if requested) for videoconferencing. High speed wireless and electricity is available for everyone.

Participants will include 100+ educators and educational leaders from K–20 education, content providers, telehealth and other distance or blended learning professionals from throughout Nebraska and beyond. Exhibitors will have an opportunity to provide (optional) breakout sessions, if submitted by October 15 using the form downloadable from the NDLA conference web page. Exhibitors are encouraged to show new and emerging technologies and products for all aspects of distance or blended learning and share examples of successful implementations if possible. We urge you to partner with a customer/institution who can help tell your success story.

We hope you consider becoming a Nebraska Digital Learning Association sponsor. This annual event and the organization promise to bring together individuals from all of Nebraska and beyond who have a passion for distance and blended education.
