NEW: Pre-Conference Flyer!
In previous years we’ve sent a pre-conference program with a tentative schedule for the conference. With the search features now available on our web site, this year we’ll be sending a post card with a link to our conference information. Be sure to share this with other colleagues who are not NETA members!

BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) & Workshops at NETA
Please check the NETA web site or the February newsletter for a list of BYOL sessions and workshops. There is no charge for the BYOL sessions, but you do need to register for those desired as they are ticketed events with limited number of seats. The workshops will again be hosted at ESU#3 with a shuttle provided for Thursday and Friday workshops. Wednesday night workshop attendees should go directly to ESU#3 as registration materials will be located there

NETA Conference Housing
We’ve just learned that the Embassy Suites rooms are full. However, keep in mind that the Marriott Courtyard is also connected to the Conference Center. The Marriott rooms have free Internet access. The Hampton Inn is very close.
