Good morning
I have attended the Ferny Grove day. At that time, it was sponsored by Microsoft and all other major software companies had stalls. They possibly paid for the main guest speaker from the development department. There was new hardware on display and displays on all types of new infrastructure. For the teachers, they had workshops using new technologies, lucky door prizes, outdoor lunch etc. It was conducted on the Student free day for the Exhibition when I went. Sadly, people don't like giving up their weekends for school anymore. Hope This helps.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lyn Sent: Friday, 20 April 2012 9:51 AM To: QSITE ICT Teachers Subject: [qsiteict] QSITE State Conference and Technical Hello All I'm seeking your advice regarding the QSITE State Conference. As you would know each year we hold a State Conference and in recent years we have not been attracting attendees from Technical or network managers which is of concern to some of our sponsors, particularly Dell. I know one issue is that sponsors who do presentations never get the information to us early enough to advertise and I have told them that it is required earlier. I have also been told that the "Ferny Grove" day was great. I'm not sure what is meant by that comment other than it was for 1 day only and on a Student free day which is appreciated by teachers. We are currently calling for presenters and I wonder if you could offer any suggestions on what I should do to appeal to this audience. What sort of exhibitors? What type of presentations? Suggested presenters. Would appreciate your assistance as it is getting very hard to gain sponsorship as the years progress and many of the sponsors want exposure to those making decisions or working on the technical side of things in schools. I've attached the first version of the conference flyer for your interest and feedback please. I look forward to getting some input please. You can email me directly if you prefer rather than flooding the list. One other thing we are calling for presenters so if you are interested in presenting a session in any of the conference strands we would welcome you so please go to website gc.qsite.edu.au for information and to submit.
