Conference (HI-TEC) will be held at the fabulous Fairmont
resort in Scottsdale, Arizona!
HI-TEC will gather educators from across the country to learn
and benefit from a wide variety of efforts by National Science
Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE)

event, which is supported by grants from NSFand contributions
from corporate and industry partners.
With a goal of Educating America’s Technical Workforce, HI-TEC
will consist of one and a half days of pre-conference
workshops and two days of conference sessions and keynote
speakers.
Attendees will have the opportunity to choose from sixteen
workshops and forty sessions in the following areas:
• Advanced Manufacturing Technologies,
• Agricultural, Environmental & Energy Technologies,
• Biotechnology, Chemical & Process Technologies,
• Engineering Technologies,
• Information & Communications Technologies (ICT),
• Learning & Evaluation, and
• Micro- & Nanotechnologies
In addition, HI-TEC will uniquely explore interactions and
convergence between many of these areas!
The HI-TEC Program Committee is currently accepting proposals
for workshops, sessions and keynote speakers. Proposals must
be submitted by January 16, 2009.

HI-TEC will occupy all of the fabulous, AAA Five Diamond
Fairmont Scottsdale resort (www.fairmont.com/scottsdale).
Conference hotel room rates will be honored before and after
the conference, creating a great opportunity to combine a
valuable educational event with family vacation.
 Everyone
there will be there because of an interest in technical
education, so it will be a wonderful opportunity to gather,
network and learn with like-minded people.

organizer and participant for this event.
