The Alabama Association for Career and Technical Education (ALACTE) is pleased to announce that registration is open for the 2013 Alabama Career and Technical Education Professional Development Conference. The theme for this year’s conference is “Alabama CTE Plan 2020: College and Career Ready.” 

ALACTE, in conjunction with the Alabama Department of Education Office of Career and Technical Education/Workforce Development staff, are planning the conference based on what you have said  you want in terms of professional development opportunities and technical update activities- PROGRAM SPECIFIC! More hands-on workshops, roundtable discussions, off-site industry tours, and more time to network with colleagues in your areas of expertise.

We are pleased to announce that conference registration fees are the same as they were in 2012. ALACTE members receive a significant reduction in the registration fee versus the amount paid by non-members. The deadline to pre-register at reduced registration fees for member and non-members is April 30, 2013. The registration fees for ALACTE members and non-members increase significantly on May 1, 2013. On July 1, 2013, the registration fee increases to $500.00 for members and non-members.

The new Westin Hotel Birmingham is also available and the conference room rate is $140.00 per night, plus 17.5% tax, for single-quad occupancy.
