EECOM Conference Speakers & Agenda

Please navigate to the time block you are interested in using the links below. Note that while we intend for this timetable to be accurate, workshops are subject to change.

We understand that many teachers may not be able to access supply teachers. To make the conference easier to access, we welcome teachers to join with students during class time. Look for the 'Suitable for Students and Youth' icon to help you choose which days (if any) you are able to access supply teachers.

A full schedule with detailed workshop writeups and speaker bios will be released here in the near future, check back often for updates!
