Welcome to the Mid-South Distance Learning Conference web site!!

The distance learning associations from Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee have reached an agreement to forgo their annual conferences every two years and host a tri-state conference.  This year we will be holding our first tri-state conference in Little Rock, Arkansas at the Hilton Little Rock, 925 South University Avenue.  The conference dates are October 5-7, 2011.

Who should attend the conference:  distance education coordinators, distance learning educators, distance learning managers, e-learning solution providers, instructional designers, instructional technologists, policymakers, subject matter experts, technology coordinators, virtual instructors, and visionary leaders.  Learn from the best!  Connect and find out all of the do’s and don’ts and trends for the future.

The conference will kick off at 1pm on Wednesday, October 5^th with a keynote speaker to be announced at a later date.  We have breakout sessions (both on site and via CIV), roundtable discussions, vendor visitations, door prizes and more planned for our first conference!  We will close the conference on Friday, October 7^th with an Awards Brunch where our Awards Committee will be presenting awards to deserving groups and individuals from the three states.

Some important dates to remember:

• Conference Registration Opens:  June 6^th
• Call for Proposals:  June 6^th – August 15^th
• Awards nominations deadline:  September 2^nd

As planning for the conference continues, more information will be provided on our web site.  Visit the site often.  We look forward to seeing you all in Little Rock in October!!!

Sincerely,

The Mid-South Distance Learning Conference Planning Committee
