Welcome conference newcomers!

Will this be your first ISTE conference? Welcome! Please introduce yourself by commenting on the wall below.

There is a lot to know about the conference and it can be overwhelming. Do you have a question? Ask it below in the discussion forum. Even if it seems silly to you, there are probably a handful of other newcomers who have the same question. ISTE members love to help each other out, so there is probably another handful of conference veterans who can answer your questions.

If you have questions about specific conference details, the San Diego Convention Center, or San Diego, itself, you may find your answers on the conference website, but if you’re unsure where to look, just ask! Start a discussion or add a comment to the wall.
