The 2021 G-CASE Fall Conference presents #evenstrongetogether
The Georgia Council of Administrators of Special Education (G-CASE) invites you to join us for our 2021 Fall Conference. The Exhibit area opens for conference participants on Wednesday, November 17th at 12:00 Noon and closes Thursday, November 18th at 5:00 P.M.
Our anticipated 350+ participants will be public school administrators of special education from all over the state who are looking for innovative ideas, resources, and support services for districts, schools, and classrooms. This is the only opportunity each year to meet special education decision-makers from all over Georgia in a single location for two days. Conference attendees are district special education directors, coordinators, teacher leaders, GLRS directors, GNETS directors, and others. There will be thirty-minute breaks throughout the conference for our attendees to talk to you. It is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.
We will be featuring two nationally known keynote presenters, along with highly informative breakout sessions, so we expect our audience to be large. The conference will also be live streamed because of the pandemic. In order for our exhibitors to be able to touch base with our live-streamed audience, we will supply each exhibitor/sponsor with the conference (both live and live-streamed) registration list and will send each participant a link to your website and any video information you may want to share. We will also post the links on our website and in a special newsletter sent to all members after the conference. We appreciate you and want to share your products and services with all our people!
We will also be hosting a Silent Auction during the conference to raise funds for scholarships to cover tuition to our highly successful year-long Special Education Administrator Development Academy. If you would like to furnish a gift or product from your company to be bid on during the Silent Auction, please do so! Thank you!
We will continue to offer one thirty-minute Breakout Session sponsored by our sponsors (see Exhibitor Information Packet for fees)! These breakout sessions went over well at our last conference with both our presenting sponsors and our attendees. What a great way to talk to a small, sincerely interested group of potential purchasers who want to learn more about your product! This Breakout Session will be a scheduled part of the program. Refreshments will be in each sponsor breakout room. Sponsors taking advantage of this breakout session option will also be given time and space in a beautiful well-appointed, furnished room right off the lobby to meet one on one with possible clients during the conference.
