Short courses are still available for $75 each. Click here to register.
Attention Convention Attendees: Presentation Handouts
In an effort to “go green,” and reduce waste and save paper, printed handouts will not be provided during the convention’s concurrent sessions or short courses. Instead, AG Bell will post presenter handouts on the convention website by June 15 and will keep those available following the convention indefinitely. Attendees can opt to print out handouts prior to leaving for convention, download handouts to personal laptops or USB sticks or may print them at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek business center (at the attendee’s own expense). AG Bell will post those handouts made available by the presenters prior to convention and is not responsible for delays in posting handouts that are not submitted by presenters until after the start of the convention. To access handouts for short courses, click here and then click on the appropriate links. To access handouts for concurrent sessions, click here, select the day and time of the session you would like handouts for and then click on the "download handout" link below each session (where available).
