2018 GA4LE Summer Conference: Call for Presentations |
Introduction and Presenter Acceptance
Thank you for your interest in presenting at the 2018 Georgia A4LE Summer Conference. The 2018 theme for Georgia A4LE Summer Conference is “Evolving Concepts from Strong Foundations”. The theme seeks to allow us to engage planners and educators in developing creative and innovative solutions from proven and effective historical means in design and construction. The lineup in 2017 was top-notch and we look to another outstanding lineup in 2017! With our Summer Conference quickly approaching, it’s time to open our Call for Presentations.
Our goal is to provide presentations that challenge the industry to provide facilities that will provide Georgia Schools with high performance facilities that will withstand the ever evolving education environment.
All presentations should focus on educating school facility representatives and other attendees on new technologies, updated processes and procedures, innovative strategies, etc. that support our stated theme. We particularly encourage joint participation with school facility representatives where real-life strategies have been implemented. We encourage school facility representatives with interesting challenges and stories to share them with their peers through presentations, as well. Sessions should not have a commercial or sales-oriented focus.
