VaTOPSS Spring Conference Rescheduled for March 24

The details have been confirmed and we are going to hold the 2014 Spring Conference on Monday, March 24. Details from the original date are largely the same. The conference will be at Monticello High School in Charlottesville, VA and run from 10:30 am until around 5:00 pm.

If you were not able to register for March 3, but the new date works out for you, registration is open until Monday, March 17. Scroll through previous posts for more information on the conference, and check out the Spring conference tab above for specific conference details.

Spring Conference Postponed

Perhaps we were a bit premature in calling this the "spring" conference. It seems that mother nature has called us on this misnomer by reminding us that spring is still over two weeks away. Because of unsafe travel and school closings due to winter weather, we must postpone our spring conference to... well, Spring.

If all goes according to plan, we will reschedule the conference for Monday, March 24. I'm hoping to keep all of the details as similar to the original conference as possible.  All registered attendees will receive an e-mail update later in the week and a new registration window will open for others who may be able to attend with the new date.

As always, check the blog for updates, and use the "subscribe by e-mail" widget in the right sidebar to receive updates whenever the blog is updated.

Thank you for your patience and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
