Your registration fee includes 2 receptions, 2 continental breakfasts, 1 full breakfast, and 1 lunch. On Thursday, November 11th you have the option of adding the role-alike lunch at no additional charge. First-time attendees are very much encouraged to attend this lunch session!
The Role-Alike Lunch is a deli buffet at which you are seated with members of your constituency group (attorney, professor, or administrator) and you participate in discussions about current trends and policies, and respond to questions and discussion points as guided by your facilitator. This year will be slightly different, as all the groups will be eating together in separate areas of the same ballroom. As the table and group discussion emerges, we will gather the most important points from each constituency group and discuss them with the larger group.
Last year the changes we made to this lunch were very highly evaluated! However, please note that after the Thursday morning concurrent sessions your schedule will be open all afternoon until the evening reception with the poster session which will be followed by the general session. Please take this into consideration when deciding whether to attend the role-alike lunch, as your afternoon sightseeing or free time will be reduced.

The 2010 ELA Annual Conference is only 2 months away!
Reminder: If you have not yet ordered your passport, please do so immediately.
The list of concurrent sessions is being posted to the conference section of the website today. Please take the time to review the sessions to maximize your educational potential at the conference. There will be minor changes to the document over the next weeks but nearly all the sessions will remain the same unless there are cancellations. If you do not plan to attend the conference, (1) I hope you will reconsider and (2) please review the concurrent sessions so you can see what you are missing and make plans to join us next year in Chicago!
We are still in need of presiders for many of the sessions, so if you are willing and able, please complete the Volunteer to Preside form which can be found under Step 4 at: http://educationlaw.org/conferences.php
In addition, so that we can keep the costs of audio-visual rentals at a reasonable level, and therefore keep your conference registration fees at a reasonable level, please consider bringing an LCD projector for us to use in one of the concurrent sessions rooms. Projectors will be gathered every day and locked in the conference office. We really appreciate your assistance with this, as each projector we can borrow for the conference will save ELA more than $600!
