If you click on the "Participants" link, you'll be directed to a preliminary schedule of conference sessions. Over the coming months, this page will be updated with hot links for each session. Each link will take you to a more detailed page that will include presentation materials, video clips, and photos. We hope that this site will be useful to IGAEA members long after the conference, with all presentation materials archived for your use.

Be a Presenter!

We are currently accepting proposals for conference presentations: check out the "Be a Presenter" link on the conference Website. Got a great session or idea that you use in your school? Share it! We prefer presenters who focus on strategies and technologies for teachers working with graphic communication students. Our goal is that presenters will represent the range of education levels, both secondary and post-secondary.

First Time Attendees are Eligible to Receive Funding

The Paul D. Von Holtz Conference Incentive Awards Program (IAP) is designed to offer an inducement to members to attend their first IGAEA Annual Conference. Through these incentive awards IGAEA encourages and assists members to attend their first annual conference. This program helps members become better acquainted with the benefits of active participation in the work of the association.

The IGAEA awards a number of incentive awards each year, from a minimum of $300 to a maximum of $500, to educators who are members of the association to assist them in participating in their first IGAEA Annual Conference. The amount of the award is determined by the distance the participant will have to travel to attend the annual conference.

The Incentive Award Committee is now taking applications for this year’s awards. We encourage anyone interested in attending the conference at Illinois State University as a first-time participant to apply for an incentive award. Typically, there are 10 – 15 awards per conference. The application deadline has been extended to April 15, 2010. Check this website under Awards to download an application.
