CIT, the largest community and technical college conference in the nation, is perfect for administrators, faculty, librarians, chief technology officers, webmasters, counselors and advisors, faculty development specialists, and others who care about exploring and expanding the use of information technology to improve all aspects of the educational enterprise. Regardless of your campus responsibilities, whether you're a novice seeking solutions to everyday challenges or an experienced professional interested in learning about the latest educational advances, you'll find useful information and practical tips that will help you do your job more effectively!

Register for the conference prior to the end of this fiscal year at  www.league.org/2005cit!  Available are group registration discounts and an exciting selection of informative Learning Center Courses, special three-hour or full-day workshops that provide in-depth exposure to specific topics in each conference track while connecting a community of learners who share common interests.  Special Sessions, diverse and exciting presentations that provide a focused discussion about particularly innovative and timely topics, are also available. Early registration helps ensure that you secure a place in the Learning Center Course(s) of your choice and that you take advantage of early registration and special group rates of up to 30 percent!

Back by popular demand, demonstrations of 3D HoloProjection (3DH) technology will again be available during the conference! 3DH is a futuristic technology being introduced into learning environments to create more immersive and realistic learning experiences. The possibilities 3DH holds for education will immediately become clear once you see and experience a live demonstration of an image created and displayed using this technology. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the 3DH live demonstrations are worth millions!
