The ACTE/NRCCTE unConference will feature short, informal sessions
emphasizing openness and dialogue, located at booths 429 and 435 at the
2009 ACTE Convention and Career Tech Expo. The unConference is for you if you have a passion for and knowledge
about CTE that you want to share outside of the formal Convention
session schedule, or if you like to learn and engage in an informal
environment.
